Flox can also install and manage Python dependencies directly, but our Catalog doesn't cover less well-known packages. You may want to stick with uv/poetry/etc for that depending on your needs. 2/n

uv/cargo provide project management e.g. "cargo run" and "uv run", but Flox doesn't do that for you automatically (though you can add shell aliases to an environment if you want). 3/n
Generally you would use Flox to install uv/cargo and use those to manage language dependencies. Flox handles everything else like native libraries, ensuring everyone gets the same tools, etc. 4/n
I remember when Poetry and pipenv were first a thing, and if you were fluent in one but wanted to work on a project that used the other, it was a pain to go install it, learn it, etc. Flox is the general solution to this problem. n/n
