I'm out of the loop, what did Shopify do?

I hate that they mentioned about ru.nix, published it on github for short time and then unpublished it[1].

I think they wanted to avoid having people build on it before they stabilize its interfaces, since they still had some big changes planned. As I understand it, the plan is supposedly still to publish it at some point.

I hope that if that's true, they publish it soon, because its design is very relevant to ongoing changes in the ecosystem, and it could be a useful reference point. :(

I don't think it is. The talk was a year ago and it still isn't available.

I created my own version, based on (I think they did that too) on NixOS modules system.

But I'm wondering how it compares.

Actually looking at https://gist.github.com/burke/72ca46c80e57a25907a75611ee5eb6... I think their goal is slightly different than mine.

There's also https://github.com/hercules-ci/project.nix but it wasn't touched for a year now.
