I just want to pull this particular sentence out for emphasis in case anyone is reading the "New employee 2 workflow at company X" comment and thinking that it's even the least bit true.
- danieldk 6y agoFor me it is home-manager switch and I don't only have my full Emacs configuration, but a full development environment with Rust, Go, etc. Though you could probably also configure VS Code that way.
- sterlind 6y agoNix support for VS Code is pretty painful. Only a tiny subset of extensions are listed in nixpkgs, and those are often broken (e.g. Python) when old binary versions are pulled from the CDN. If somebody could make a VS code extension that seamlessly pulls down other extensions by altering the nix config, it'd be perfect.
- danieldk 6y agoThanks for the information! I haven't tried configuring VS Code through Nix yet. I guess I'll wait a while before doing another attempt.
