> Some tooling (such as asdf-vm[0]) didn't work, and it wasn't clear as to why. Note that this was something that I expected and was ready to work around as needed Tools like Guix or Nix are oriented around describing packages as expressions. This ends up with the result where the Nix packages don't use system libraries. -- Tools that fetch binaries themselves don't always work well, because assumptions that may be true on many Linux distributions might not hold when using NixOS, or even just nix on other distributions. Though, using asdf from Nix/Guix sounds a bit like trying to use a scythe while riding on a lawn mower. |

I don't disagree - I turned back to asdf (which I use on most cases) after fumbling too much with defining Guix packages, under the thought of "what a pain in the ass, I'll try what I usually use"
I do think I'll take another crack at Guix at some point, but with more realistic expectations of not being able to know everything about it in a weekend :)
