Thank you, this might be a great way to improve the developer experience in the conda/conda-forge ecosystem.

I've been using unikraft (https://unikraft.org/) unikernels for a while and the startup times are quite impressive (easily sub-second for our Rust application).
Cool! Emscripten-forge also recently got a R distribution that runs natively on the browser: https://blog.jupyter.org/r-in-the-browser-announcing-our-web...
I'm at the point where I don't touch python without uv at all, if possible. The only bad is, now I want to use uv to install go and java and debian packages too ... :(
The ability to get random github project working without messing with system is finally making python not scary to use.
Pixi works for this use case: https://pixi.sh/latest/
It gives you cross-platform binary packages, quickly (also written in Rust).
But there are a lot of nodes and drivers out there for ROS already. It's a chicken and egg thing because people aren't going to write drivers unless there are enough users, and it's hard to get users without drivers.
It looks like their business model is to give away the OS and make money with FoxGlove-like tools. It's not a bad idea, but adoption will be an uphill battle. And since they aren't open source yet, I certainly wouldn't start using it on a project until it us.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
