Due to current events, i feel the need to inform all the Arch girls to look for their Nix Girls (trust me, they become mutable when cuddled long enough) #nix#nixos#arch
One field of use for #tcl that I think people might find surprising is that it mixes well with #nix , at least to me.
Tcl in #nixos has few dependencies, so you can use it for miscellaneous scripts without feeling bad about it.
When doing Nix stuff you can easily get into a few layers of quoting, something Tcl's syntax handles better than the shell code people instinctively reach for.
Tcl excels at orchestrating and composing system commands, again a typical Nix concern.
Finally, even though the programming model could be said to be the inverse of functional programming, on a superficial level I think Nix code and Tcl have a shared aesthetic, they just look good together. 😃
Is there a way to force #Nix to fetch a specific package definition from the nixpks GitHub? For instance if I just added packages and would like to use them but unstable hasn't updated yet
#nix#nixos (for visiblity, actually on aarch64-darwin)
Ouch, got a big case of reply-guys again, hate that, for fuck's sake, at least look at the god damnded conversation before you write a braindead defense thesis.
This happens every time I mention why I personally don't use #rust and #nix every fucking time, and I'm so tired of it. Don't be a fucking reply-guy, please...
