minnows is something i could use tomorrow and schemas w/ configurable flakes are very useful, even though i think flakes are a local minima (compared to a different solution i'm kinda working on)

We're happy to announce a long-term partnership with Motorola. We're collaborating on future devices meeting our privacy and security standards with official GrapheneOS support.

every time I see the phrase "industry standard" in a discussion on technical merits, a part of me dies
the current events and claude glazing factions of my for you feed have teamed up to achieve total victory against all programming posts
the world will get more build systems
i like helix a lot, although there are pain points, such as it lacking gui niceties like varying font sizes or more readable popups. also i wish it had a diff editor. idk how useful it would be to learn helix if you already like vi, helix was my first modal edito
i think you also get maximally distributed remote builders and caches... pretty much for free. all you need is something like unison cloud's deployHttp and remote instances can bootstrap your builder daemon with the same config as everything else + evaluate your derivations
now i don't wanna do problem sets...
the implementation would probably be writing a front end in unison for snix's modular builder and content addressed store infra, which isn't unrealistically difficult. i might try this later
that's pretty much the idea. unison isn't lazily evaluated, which is annoying for some stuff, but the benefit is that your derivations inputs are exact (unison code hash, source hash, input hashes), rather than (all nix code, source hash, input hashes)
but.. unison could also work here, and allow for caching (distributed across different build machines) so fine grained that you never evaluate the same function twice
for context, garn is a project by garnix for using typescript as a replacement for the nix dsl. a restricted verion of v8 (faster than nix) that only allows a few io operations and captured their outputs allows for better caching
i just had a terrible, terrible idea
i need to learn unison...
intrusive thoughts are now telling me to stick the nixos module system options in here and make the "user friendly nixos gui" someone said was a good idea once
i'd never heard of mps before, i really like the gui they have for friendly structural editing that looks almost like a no-code app
was a joke about not using jetbrains. helix is a pretty nice text editor that's monolithic (so everything from lsp support to fuzzy search is baked in instead of 100 jank lua/elisp files) and has an intuitive noun -> verb keybind system
indeed, the jetbrains font makes it very easy to read code inside helix
