Julia Evanssome notes on nix flakes https://jvns.ca/blog/2023/11/11/notes-on-nix-flakes/
Francis 🏴☠️ Gulotta@b0rk nix is fascinating but… do you have a post on what it is? It’s a package manager afaict. But people talk about it like it’s something more?
Luke Channings@reconbot @b0rk I agree, I think this is the main thing that made me give up trying to replace Homebrew with Nix. Nix is a functional and lazily-evaluated programming language, and it's a build system, and an OS, and a binary package repository, and... oh did I mention flakes and home-manager and nix-darwin?
It has value and solves real problems, but it's just *so much*.
