• Show HN: Is_ready – Wait for many services to become available – 0 Dependencies

  It works on MacOS/Windows, unlike systemd. Therefore it's well suited for development environment setups for polyglot teams. https://devenv.sh/ is one example that uses it to do just that. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Install Asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments

  Sounds like nix using devenv[1] also would solve this problem. https://devenv.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Nix – A One Pager

  Software developers often want to customize: 1. Their home environments: for packages (some reach for brew on MacOS) and configurations (dotfiles, and some reach for stow). 2. Their development shells: for build dependencies (compilers, SDKs, libraries), tools (LSP, linters, formatters, debuggers), and services (runtime, database). Some reach for devcontainers here. 3. Or even their operating systems: for... - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago

• Show HN: Lapdev, a new open-source remote dev environment management software

  Https://devenv.sh/ and nix in general are great for setting up dev environments. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• What's the Next Vagrant?

  2) A way to run services apps depend on (databases, job runners, cache etc). I am going to suggest one of the Nix based tools that do those things:

• Ask HN: How can I make local dev with containers hurt less?

  Yup, I haven’t tried it but there is https://devenv.sh which is built on top of nix and makes it simple. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: How can I make local dev with containers hurt less?

  It would be a smoother transition for most I imagine to use nix via https://devenv.sh/ even if only for it's excellent documentation. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way

  Although Guix reads better than Nix (after all, it's Lisp), I found the support and resources available for learning severely lacking. Plus, you have to jump through hoops to install non-free software, which goes against the ethos of Guix anyway. IMHO, Nix is clearly "the winner" here and we'll see more and more adoption as it improves. Lots of folks are doing exciting work (see https://determinate.systems/,... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Development Environments with Guix, similar to devenv.sh

  This though, through the use of devenv.sh, which uses nix, as when I got into nix I though it was going to be easier to just make a development environment, not the case. Until I found devenv.sh, I could actually finally make good environments... It also has other features like containers and services, which also help me know that I can get the most of it if the time comes. Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Devenv vs. Devbox? (Nix Tooling)

  I've been getting into Nix/NixOS for the last couple months, and I keep seeing [devenv](https://devenv.sh) and [devbox](https://www.jetpack.io/devbox/) mentioned as good tools for local development. The main difference between them seems to be that devenv uses the Nix language and containers whereas devbox uses JSON and wraps `nix-shell`. There are probably more differences I'm missing. So far I've only found one... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
