Where's Anaconda at these days? I've not touched it since starting out with Python and don't think I've touched it since discovering other package managers.

Anyone here using it regularly in 2025, is there anything I'm missing out on?

Wait, is this anaconda python, my favorite python installation? Oh no, it's now an AI company? Is my favorite python installation going to get enshittified?

Everywhere where they may be a shadow data science team. And that's how they get you. One has to be very careful to install the Open Source portions. They make no effort to make the boundary obvious. If one does not, IT will get a call asking for licensing money.

That happened last year, when they changed their license terms and started shaking people down for money. I wouldn't touch it.

Today started with coffee and hopes for a new Jon Voight vehicle in theaters next summer. Now it's coffee and disappointment in yet another AI offering no one asked for.

Going up against Astral in 2025 with conda's stack is feeding 150MM directly into a furnace.

Congratulations to Astral (makers of uv).

At these valuations you are now all billionaires. You have earned the commas and car doors that open like \__/.
