I usually don't need to write C++ when writing in JavaScript, though. Writing derivations in Nix in real world implies using the standard library and writing shell scripts for mkDerivation & co. ("domain specific" shell scripts that use stdenv)

Hmm, I write nix too, but never write shell within nix. Do you use it for custom builders?

How is using (nix?) standard library something that you don't want?
