My thinking is that this is long overdue!
I am working on a very large project where multiple solutions have been invented to solve problem which are all handled by Nix:
- Bake in the repository the clone of the dependencies.
- Compile the tool chain to create reproducible builds.
- Create "artifact" builds, to avoid large recompilation times for many developers.
- Use various tools to cache and distribute builds.
- Use a bleeding-edge version of some dependencies.
- Use Node, Java (Android), C++, Rust, …
If only Nix were to run natively on Windows, this would check all the boxes.
- bpye 4y agoThere was some work being done to make Nix work on Windows [0] - but it might have fizzled out. I too would really love Nix to work on Windows. I already use it on both macOS and Linux and it’s great. [0] - https://github.com/nix-windows/nix https://github.com/nix-windows/nix
