Having tried asdf - among other tools - for awhile, dropping it for nix+flakes+direnv was great. Devenv seems nice (in fact it’s how I started down this path)

Having tried asdf - among other tools - for awhile, dropping it for nix+flakes+direnv was great.
Devenv seems nice (in fact it’s how I started down this path) but I haven’t found anything it does for me that I can’t get out of flakes - so far.
- robinhoodexe 2y agoI'm considering doing a pilot (~5 devs out of 120) with using nix to manage dependencies and build containers at $DAYJOB, and here I think devenv is nice as a "one package" plus an active community for support.
- lexlash 2y ago95% of the difficulty I have at $DAYJOB is nix installation and dealing with enterprise certificate/auth crud…sadly devenv doesn’t help much there. Our pilot is quite a bit larger. Sticking to plainer flakes has made it easier for folks to self-service for now but we do intend to re-evaluate devenv. Same username on twitter if you’re interested in chatting.
