Plutus, Haskell, Nix, Purescript, Swift/Kotlin. laser-focused on FP: formality, purity, and totality; repulsed by pragmatic, unsafe, “move fast and break things” approaches

  • Thanks for the advice.

    I’m working on getting my own fork of Lemmy therefore I’m attempting to repackage it independently of Nixpkgs so I can get a flake in their actual repo that allows devs to spin up a Lemmy dev environment. I want my dev environment to reflect the changes being made on Lemmy in that dev environment when I make them. Unless I’m missing something, with your suggestion, I’d have no way to test a major change to Lemmy’s codebase in my fork (as I intend to).




  • Roberth:

    … or against.

    Flake inputs are neither a good dependency injection framework, nor a good package manager, nor a good programming language. > All while we have a good programming language, and programming languages implement dependency injection frameworks, so we don’t even need that.

    Please know that all statements about “stabilization” are completely worthless, both because the term is ill-defined and because the people who use it tend to contribute nothing to the Nix implementation.

    It’s done when it’s done. If you have the time or resources for improvements, towards completing the feature, please get in touch.
