You can talk to support about missing the notification about your reservation and they'll still let you put in an order.

Fair, but its still a real issue and solved in a similar way: Nix has finer grained reproducibility -- not only at the environment level but also at the derivation level. Being able to pick and choose which dependencies to update while ensu

For context, I'm referencing our (legacy) base image for projects on Replit: Polygott ( https://github.com/replit/polygott/ ). The image contains dependencies needed for 50+ languages. This means repls by defau

What happens when you need to update some dependency within that image? Now you have to do an image rebuild. If you're lucky only the top-most layers will be rebuilt and the base layers stay the same, if you're unlucky nearly the

Author here. It's titled this way because Docker seems to come up in a lot of discussions around Nix and is often compared with Nix. Partly because of their overlap in functionality but also because people may not understand the differ

Author here. In our case, we had a large base Docker image called Polygott ( https://github.com/replit/polygott ) it pulls in dependencies for 50+ different languages from various repositories. We would pin things where

Author here. As with most things, its all about the trade-offs. Docker has certainly proved itself and that approach has worked on a massive scale. However, its not a silver bullet. For us at Replit, our Docker approach was causing issues:

by cbrewster 5y ago
While you can copy files from different stages, I wouldn't consider this to be the same thing as composing two base images together. Like the example in the post, you can't take the Rust and NodeJS images and tell Docker to magica

It was more of a silly demonstration showing what's possible and less about being practical. :)

Yeah, we are really excited about the future Nix will bring for us at Replit. Soon, language version incompatibility will be a thing of the past on Replit.

Yup, you can setup Haskell with Nix. I'm not too familiar with Haskell, but it looks like Nix even has a collection of Haskell packages (including lens). This looks like it is a good resource for getting started with Nix + Haskell htt

Sorry, building nix environments from scratch is still rough around the edges and we are working to improve that at the moment. When hosting a web server, your app must listen on 0.0.0.0, adding that to your repl seems to make that work. I

Hi, one of the authors here. The Nix environment on Replit is under development right now, we hid the configuration files to clean up the filetree as most users shouldn't need to know about the config files unless they are customizing

Neat, if it gets added to nixpkgs it will be available on Replit! https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs
