@wezm never heard of Tvix. Second language implementations always bring all kinds of value in rigour and formalized definition. Very cool! Nix has given me super powers in the past few years, and I now use it exclusively on my personal machines.
Buying Dune on Blu-Ray on Amazon: $9.99. Buying Dune on Amazon Prime Streaming, with a license that can be revoked at any time by some media exec from afar: $14.99. And people wonder why I just bought a USB Blu-Ray player to rip movies for my home Jellyfin setup.
@hazelweakly @b0rk Thank you for clarifying that for me! Really appreciate it.
Hazel Weakly@blake @b0rk Doing the Google summer of projects doesn't give you any ties to corporate interests in any legal binding sense. And as it is, Nix is already deeply reliant on the generosity of many corporations. (as is essentially every other programming language community, open source Infrastructure community, and most large scale open source projects, regardless)
I'd encourage Nix to apply! It won't hurt, and it would be fantastic for them
@b0rk tough documentation is the biggest thing that prevents me from sharing Nix with more peers. Would love to help join the cause to help improve the situation!
@b0rk I kind of want Nix to apply, but then I also don't want Nix to have any ties to Google whatsoever.
@jacqueline just put in my order! Would love to start hacking on getting Tangara to talk to my homelab Navidrome / Subsonic music streaming setup. Time to dust off my C++!
@jacqueline So happy / excited for you!
