I love Nix so much, because you can just super easily contain an entire development environment in one file. This stuff is genuinely

• More flexible than docker

• Easier than docker

• More reliable than docker

• Faster than docker

• More powerful than docker

Why isn't literally everyone using Nix?

Here, a development environment that installs

1. Bun

2. Playwright

3. Chrome, firefox and a generic webkit browser

And sets it up correctly, in an isolated environment? With a nice "hey, this is how you use this development environment" comment as a cherry on top?

The entire Nix file is 46 lines of code. Most of it boilerplate.

@Laauurraaa @pmidden fyi the dedentation of the shell hook there isn't required: the nix language already eats leading indents in '' block literals so it will get eaten for you.

@leftpaddotpy @pmidden Ohhh

I just spent a moment on your site. Have you seen the talk by Joe Armstrong? Before he died?

I read your article on postmodern build systems. My mind is barely wrapping itself around Nix, and you're suggesting the what's going to be blowing enthusiast people's minds 20 years from now... lmao

My mind can only do so much exploding every week

This talk is sooo good. Mostly because it's by Joe, but also because it's soooo good.

Much recommend!
