I want something like Python's uv for c++

1 month ago 27

uv for Python is a package and project manager. It provides a single tool to replace multiple others like pip, venv, pip-tools, pyenv and other stuff. Using uv is straightforward:

uv run myscript.py

And you're done. Uv takes care of the dependencies (specified as a comment at the beginning of the py file), the environment, even the Python version you need. It's really a no-bullshit approach to Python development.

I dream of something like that for C++. No more drama with cmake, compiler versions not being available on my OS, missing dependencies, the quest for libstdc++/glibc being to old on Linux that I never fully understood...

I'm a simple man, let me dream big 😭
