Unless of course you have hard to build packages.. that's one thing conda is still the best for.

Otherwise the equivalent to conda environments is:
install from source (python.org)
python -m venv name_of_env
source name_of_env/bin/activate
pip install package

I don't understand why the advice is a switch languages, conda is just a fancy pypi wrapper.. I switched my team to venv/pip or (lately) uv is the preferred alternative to building a virtual environment.

What's insane to me is how much dialog/work/expertise it takes to change one person's mind on one subject, even (especially?) when the recipient is not informed on the issue. It's much easier to just.. not.

Our biggest, bestest national celebration.

I expected this to be a terrifying fascist spectacle, but instead I actually feel a little sad, like the time my friend Charlie and I set up a lemonade stand when we were seven and nobody stopped all day.
