Improving the interaction with language ecosystems was one of the motivating reasons for how I approached the [rework][1] of Darwin support in nixpkgs. A lot of Rust stuff was simply impossible to build due to their SDK needs and how hard it was to override the SDK correctly, but that’s fixed now (with a few remaining cases that will be fixed in the final staging cycle before 24.11). I expect other ecosystems to benefit similarly, especially since Darwin support looks more like a native toolchain while still being built and provided by nixpkgs. For example, Zed and Wezterm (previously failing intermittently on x86_64-darwin) now build on Darwin. Someone even has [Firefox building from source][2]. PyTorch will be able to support MPS, and MoltenVK will be able to use Metal 3 features if your system supports them.
