What makes you think flakes are a shinier side project? In my opinion, flakes are the One-True-Nix at this point. They simplify a large swath of issues with using Nix, and every day that sees flake adoption improve is a net-win for Nix usage overall.
- blueflow 4y ago"One-True-Nix". Familiar phrase, and we are sick of it. We need our usecases solved, not a new world religion.
- JamesSwift 4y agoIts nothing to do with a world religion, its correcting what I see as a flawed view that flakes are somehow something unrelated to nix and the issues involved with nix, and that time spent on flakes is time wasted from a nix consumer POV. I'm telling you that not only are flakes a main-project for nix developers, but that they serve to completely upend how nix is used. As I said, flakes directly solve several issues of nix-without-flakes. This is a huge benefit for the nix consumer.
