That scripting trick is awesome! One of the really nice things about Elixir and its dependency manager is that you can just write Mix.install(…) in your script and it’ll fetch those dependencies for you, with the same caching you mentioned too.
Does uv work with Jupyter notebooks too? When I used it a while ago dependencies were really annoying compared to Livebook with that Mix.install support.
uv offers another useful feature for inline dependencies, which is the exclude-newer field[1]. It improves reproducibility by excluding packages released after a specified date during dependency resolution.
I once investigated whether this feature could be integrated into Mix as well, but it wasn't possible since hex.pm doesn't provide release timestamps for packages.
