Thanks that getting started post looks really useful.

i have recently started running development stuff in VMs (shared folder so I can use my usual editors etc) and this might be a nice alternative - but the biggest draw is that it is declarative and looks easier to get to grips with than Nix.

ARM support is not important to me at the moment - those are just personal things (a tablet, a Raspberry PI) that have limited use anyway.
