Yeah I wish you could just start with a `.tools-version` and nix would generate a development flake. Someday!
That being said, the task of debugging a deprecated tool version in asdf just one time makes the investment in the nix awkwardness worth it.
the pitch for nix isn't that it's a nicer tool than, e.g. `asdf`, but rather, that it will probably work in five years. frightful flashbacks of of trying to get nokogiri to build.
- Cloudef 4y agoSome people are doing these kind of wrappers, for example: https://github.com/luispedro/nixml https://github.com/luispedro/nixml Machine learning people usually use anaconda which is all sorts of mess... But honestly yeah, I think it's worthwhile to invest learning nix for simply guaranteeing your environment still works for years to come and isn't affected by side-effects (some thing outside of your environment description actually is causing the whole thing to work, or some thing outside the environment is making the thing not work).
