The new green deal!

See also https://cachix.org for a hosted binary cache.

Feel free to request a tutorial athttps://github.com/domenkozar/nix.dev/issues

I've started writing tutorials at https://nix.dev/ to help people set up their development environment and get up and running quickly.

Note that Elm has typeclasses, they are just not exposed in the language: https://medium.com/@terezk_a/haskell-in-elm-terms-type-class...

While there was a novelty budget consideration, I miss comparison for:

* ease of development

* time to learn the language

* documentation: tutorials, etc

* ease of hiring

Architecture is a tiny cost you have to pay for using something else.

Then again, for a consultancy using Haskell, PureScript is the right choice.

We're building https://hercules-ci.com/ and not talking much about purity :)

I'm pretty sad it doesn't explore Nix as it's superior in isolating and doesn't require root.

Getting started: https://medium.com/scientific-breakthrough-of-the-afternoon/...

How much effort was put into making the whole isolation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73mnPBLL_20

There is even a declarative way to setup darwin process management: https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin

Yes.

Types, because of testing.

Python code is really hard to maintain once you grow over a few thousand lines of code and a few developers.

I used to believe that a good culture and seasoned developers can delivered testable code, but it rarely happens in practice. Even if, deadlines kill testing budget.

Types make refactorings sane, they are you contracts. Ended up in Haskell.

+1 for syncing support between mobile/laptop. This is a must to have ability to write quick notes on mobile and prose on laptop.

Thanks! That's very good feedback. We are currently working hard to get all features done and streamlining use. Next phase is marketing to non-Nix devs, probably 2019 :)

Some self promotion for NixOS infrastructure:

* binary caches as a service: https://cachix.org

* Nix continuous integration as a service: https://hercules-ci.com

Because internet news spreads quicker than doctor gossip? Since the side-effects with some of the antiviral drugs are almost negligible, you can just but those and try :)

Nice, I'd love to see it released.
