I am actively using Nix from my workstation setup to development environments, from Docker image builds to CI/CD pipelines, and even on production servers. One of the themes that comes up often is provisioning a codebase, a development environment and packaging configuration for a new project. - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago
I'd love to create some Nix (https://nixos.org/) content. - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago
NixOS may end up being "the last OS I ever use" (especially now that gaming is viable on it): https://nixos.org/ Check it out. The whitepaper's a fairly digestible read, too, and may get you excited about the whole concept (which is VERY different from how things are normally done, but ends up giving you guarantees). - Source: Hacker News / 30 days ago
For implementing the themes I have decided to use nix flakes since they allow each theme to specify their own dependencies and which command to run with the resulting JSON from the previous step as input. Another alternative could have been to use docker, but I wanted to learn more about nix. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
One of the most tedious and time-wasting parts of the development process is setting up tooling. For a NodeJS project this requires getting the right Node version, getting the preferred package manager, installing things like a linter, formatter, and sometimes a compiler for TypeScript or other JS-transpiled languages. Well today we are going to talk about using Nix as an SDK/tool manager, and how we can setup... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
I'll give a shot at some guiding principals: 1. Do not use yaml. All github action logic should be written in a language that compiles to yaml, for example dhall (https://dhall-lang.org/). Yaml is an awful language for programmers, and it's a worse language for non-programmers. It's good for no one. 2. To the greatest extent possible, do not use any actions which install things. For example, don't use... - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago
I'm a fan of anything that moves us away from stringly typed nonsense. See also Dhall (which can render to yaml). I like the idea but found the veneer broke a little too often and left me squinting at Haskell. https://dhall-lang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
I think you're asking for Starlark (https://starlark-lang.org), a language that strongly resembles Python but isn't Turing-complete, originally designed at Google for use in their build system. There's also Dhall (https://dhall-lang.org), which targets configuration use cases; I'm less familiar with it. One problem is that, while non-Turing-completeness can be helpful for maintainability, it's not really... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
> Lambda calculus is as pure as can be, and also has terms that don't normalize. That is not considered a side effect. Many typed lambda calculi do normalise. You can also have a look https://dhall-lang.org/ for some pragmatic that normalises. > A better example of impurity in Haskell for pragmatic's sake is the trace function, that can be used to print debugging information from pure functions. Well, but that's... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
I was first turned onto Pkl during my Dhall Trough of Disillusionment phase (Dhall is cool, but man is it hard) by James Ward. It looked to be a language that had enough types to compile YAML/JSON configuration files wayyyy more safely. I’ve had enough YAML/JSON misconfigurations break production, that I started looking into ways to compile those problems away, and Dhall helped a lot, but the learning curve and... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
GNU Guix - Like Nix but GNU.
YAML - YAML 1.2 --- YAML: YAML Ain't Markup Language
Homebrew - The missing package manager for macOS
Jsonnet - A powerful DSL for elegant description of JSON data.
asdf-vm - An extendable version manager
JSON - (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format
