Clojure developer here, was interested in Pixie since you announced it.

The only reason why I have not tried it out yet is

* No mention of installing it with `nix-env -i pixie`, `apt-get install pixie` or `brew install pixie`. Sorry, but I'm that lazy :(. If you make it Linux-only, a mac user can do `docker run -ti pixie -v /src:.` as well.

* No mention of how to connect from your editor. A small Emacs mode which let's you C-x C-e is all that would have made me use it.

It's lazy and dumb, but that is the truth. So for me the only reason for not being a Pixie developer full time are those 2 UX things.

Thanks for your work and keep it up :-).
