This was one of the reasons I really tried to go native. Once you introduce a build system, it has to be maintained. I eventually did choose Svelte, but I’m do

  Take a look at nix-shell scripts. Much simpler, lightweight and fast. Start of a build script from a C project of mine: #!/usr/bin/env nix-shell #! nix-shell -i fish --pure #! nix-shell -I https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/4ecab3273592f27479a583fb6d975d4aba3486fe.tar.gz #! nix-shell --packages fish gcc gnumake gmp git cacert ...build script goes here... -i fish: I am using fish shell. --pure: Environment is as pure as it can reasonably get. --packages: Packages from nixpkgs to be made available in the environment. -I <github_commit_hash>: pinned to a specific git commit of nixpkgs. This script will give you the exact same environment with the exact same packages with exact same dependencies forever. You can drop into a shell with the exact same configuration by using the cli command nix-shell with the same options. Admittedly this is not as declarative as using flakes, since it's a script, but hey, I'm lazy, still didn't sit down to learn them once and for all.
