I wish he'd open-source runix. https://gist.github.com/burke/72ca46c80e57a25907a75611ee5eb66d https://gist.github.com/burke/72ca46c80e57a25907a75611ee5eb6...

  I think it is too heavily integrated with Shopify that it probably is difficult to make it a general tool. I created something similar for my needs, although perhaps it is a different, but it was inspired by the configuration file :) Looks like Burke's runix is about starting multiple services, to create dev environment. My tool creates an opinionated dev environment (you enter nix-shell or direnv and everything is already set up) that is already integrated with Nix, that means out of the box you can generate nix package, or build a docker image. Right now it only supports python (poetry) and go which is what I need right now but other languages can be added later. Not sure if others would find it useful, technically you could just create own shell.nix and default.nix, the problem is that it ends up being a lot of boilerplate and a lot of nix code which scares away people not familiar with Nix.
