The meaning of UV

[wssf812]

Sorry, I have a rather childish question. Why is this new generation pyhton package management tool called UV?

Does it mean "use venv"?

Also, as a fast linter, does Ruff mean "rust formatted"?

What is the source of your naming, otherwise it feels a bit confusing

See #1349 (comment)

Names are hard, we considered hundreds of names. They don't need to have a specific meaning. Ruff doesn't really stand for anything either, it's just a name.

I assumed ruff was 'RUst Faster Flake'. But uv being 'Use Venv' sends the opposite message.
