| Looks great, looking forward to trying it out. I've been mentioning to a work colleague that someone needs to do for the somewhat baroque Nix tools and concepts what Docker did for containers. It just needs a nice porcelain over the top that provides some consistent CLI UX, but lets you dive down deeper as you get more comfortable with the system. As someone who just two weeks ago got into Nix/NixOS via this repo[1] from mitchellh, one thing I'd love: A nice, seamless way to remote connect JetBrains IDEs or VS Code into the environment. I tried the VS Code server, but had some problems getting it going on ARM Linux (my machine is an M1 Mac, and I'm running nixOS inside an arm64 VM). I have been surviving on NeoVIM, but really would like to use the editors/IDEs I am used to. Something like starting up the JetBrains Fleet/Gateway kind of thing, or VS Code server, when entering an env, so that I can connect the IDE to the environment, and it has access to everything in that environment. Since I don't see me convincing the 20+ people in my team to switch to VIM :) [1] https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config |
This shouldn't be more than a day of work.
