I really like Rye and have used it a lot. Lately I've been using pixi more and more because of its cross-platform locking support, since I develop on Mac and deploy mostly to Linux. It also supports all cobda packages, which can be a big advantage.

Oh wow, so that's basically a way of getting around the fact that JavaScript doesn't have built-in zip/gz/deflate support, but browsers do have built-in PNG support? Clever.
There is the Compression Streams API which hast gzip and deflate support, but it pretty new. Firefox supports it since halfe a year.

This is exciting
> The WebGPU API gives developers a low level, high performance, cross architecture way to program GPU hardware from JavaScript. It is the effective successor to WebGL on the Web. The spec has been finalized and Chrome has already shipped the API. Support is underway in Firefox and Safari.
Interestingly, the Deno team previously attempted[0] this and rolled it back due to instability. Once this is stable, it means that ML/AI workloads will be accessible to JS developers:
> These days, most neural networks are defined in Python with the computation offloaded to GPUs. We believe JavaScript, instead of Python, could act as an ideal language for expressing mathematical ideas if the proper infrastructure existed. Providing WebGPU support out-of-the-box in Deno is a step in this direction. Our goal is to run Tensorflow.js on Deno, with GPU acceleration. We expect this to be achieved in the coming weeks or months.

Just yesterday I was looking to play around with webGPU and found the 1.8 release page. I had no idea it was removed. I hope that webGPU will gain adaptation as the best cross platform system. The incompatibility between platforms for openGL or Vulkan always made me not want to learn it.
I recently tried to create an executable from a Python script, Mac and Windows worked wonderfully, on Linux I had massive problems when I tried to run it in a different system then it was packaged. Linux caused the most problems, in the end I decided it was not worth it, 99% use Windows or Mac anyway.

Looks pretty awesome. I'm currently using rye for locking, but unfortunately it only creates a lock file for the current OS. Which makes it not ideal for cross-platform Python development. Torch, for example, has different dependencies on Mac and Linux.
I will give you 2 for the opposite: Amazon and Apple do no question asked refunds all the time. Much higher bar than European regulators require.
