Nice. I started using macOS 5 months ago and it felt a bit as a step back coming from Linux.

Does Nix work good with macOS?

I should mention that on High Sierra there’s a bug with kill(-1, ...) that sometimes causes Nix builds to lock up the whole system.
Also, the OS X windowmanager has a memory leak and you have to resart every so often. Yesterday mine was 22GB and after restart <100MB… Nothing to do with Nix, just venting ;-)

  you have to restart every so often
I've never had that happen. Maybe things that don't have to do with Nix... really just don't have to do with Nix ;-)
get brew, iterm2, and zsh.
Already got zsh and brew.

Will look into iterm2, thx :)

Yep
