Pygments

A detail I needed to figure how to implement out was install pygments inside the project's compilation environment. To do that, I had to modify the file blog.nix and add the property executableSystemDepends containing pythonPackages.pygments, the pygments package name in Nix.

NixOS

Nix is the NixOS package manager, but it runs in other distros too (I believe it does even on MacOS). The great difference of Nix is that it isolates the packages from the systems in specific directories and after that hooks them in a very compatible manner when needed. This allows multiple versions of same packages available in the system. And to drive this integration, Nix uses a declarative language (purely funcional). Thus all OS environment becomes immutable and installing a package is nothing more then apply a function that updates this environmento to a new state that have a package. THe perfect companion to Haskell, not even the OS itself has side effects.

Hakyll

This info is relevant because Hakyll application requires to be complied before it generates the pages, and the compilation process of Haskell is a pretty expensive (computationally saying). Although, the executable is incredible fast, due to great work made by the compiler. This processing cost will be discussed soon.

GitHub

GitLab is a git repository host as GitHub, the main difference is, the framework itself is open source (written in Ruby, as GitHub too) and have many hosting options, including its Cloud and, for sure, your own dedicated server.
