Replacing pip-compile with something from Rust-land?

[LarsDu]

I noticed that this tool is written in Rust but still relies on pip-compile for dependency resolution:

Are there any plans to swap out pip-compile with something faster written in rust? Perhaps whatever dependency resolver cargo is using?

This certainly won't resolve package metadata retrieval slowness, but this would seem like a good place to leverage the performance of Rust!(?)

rye uses a wide range of tools from the existing Python ecosystem internally, and it's worth discussing whether it's necessary to re-invent them all over again~

Well pip-tools need replacing, but I don't care much about it being written in Rust I think. But yes, that is one of the most significant issues with the whole experiment at the moment.
