It's a bit sad, that Dhall (programmable configuration language for YAML & co.) used to use IPFS for its source/packages, but stopped, because of reliability :(

It's a bit sad, that Dhall (programmable configuration language for YAML & co.) used to use IPFS for its source/packages, but stopped, because of reliability :( (I'm wondering if there are/were others?)
> Early on in the language history we used IPFS to distribute the Dhall Prelude, but due to reliability issues we’ve switched to using GitHub for hosting Dhall code.

I wish IPFS the best, because at least in theory this seems like a perfect use case
- arianvanp 7y agoWe conducted initial experiments with moving nix package manager to ipfs, but also ran into too many issues.
- xwvvvvwx 7y agoAre these issues documented somewhere, would love to learn more. At first glance nix and ipfs seem like a perfect match
- arianvanp 7y agoSure thing. I think most of the discussions have been cross-referen ed in this issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/859 https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/859
