It's unreal. I've packaged so many super daunting packages that would take myself weeks to package (and some that I've tried and failed to package). I have 6 years of daily driving nixos...So I'm not exactly new to the distro.
Even messing with stdenv or language builders is trivialized. Any software that I want, I can get within a few hours of claude/codex just spinning unsupervised. It's so nice! Underrated for sure.
can I use this in neovim? Something like fzf.vim
It's a show stopper that there's no macos support (afaiu). Eagerly awaiting that...
I believe you're referring to:
Store-based systems, however, are static in nature, with all dependencies being resolved at build time.
I think the author is saying that the shared libraries (.so) are available at build time on store-based systems and never change. Thus, the dynamic linker can speed up symbol resolution by doing the symbol resolution at build time and sticking the result in output binary. This is distinct from static linking which sticks the entire library (.a) into the output binary.
This is incredibly exciting. Let me know if I can help test! Where does the branch live?
I would love to use this, but I can't figure out how to install it on my M1 mbp.
Nix has a debugger now. You can drop into the frames that are causing problems and inspect the state. Miles easier than looking at the trace manually.
