Blog post author here – happy to take any questions. We're looking to unify the conda + PyPI ecosystems and build a really nice cross-platform, language independent package manager (which is called pixi).
Are there any gains to be had in just using this for pypi packages (no conda)? Solving for a monorepo with hundreds of packages is the cause of much time lost.
