I wanted to play around with a project that uses Nix… it seemed really cool but I couldn’t get it working, I guess I was throwing myself in at the deep end with it
It looks like a fantastic way of sharing a dev environment across a team
It is a fantastic way to make sure things work across a team. We use Linux (bunch of different distro) and macOS at my company and once I started packaging things with nix environment related issues mostly went away. It’s not perfect and it’s not necessarily easy to learn nix, but I prefer it to sharing docker containers or other alternatives.
