What do you mean with probes? If you want to profile your Nix code then it has performance counters you can print with some flags (IIRC), when it comes to profiling eval itself then perf and callgrind it is I mean not profiling the eval implementation itself but profiling nix code against the current eval implementation. But those answer my question, thank you, I’ll see if the counters are sufficient for what I want to look into. Worst case I’ll just wait with anticipation for raito to get back to introducing more probes | 15:54:23 |
 raitobezarius | there's a function tracer as well fyi | 16:38:47 |

 Milo | lix fmt doesn't behave the same as nix fmt when invoked with no arguments.
nix fmt passes the project root directory (the one parent of the flake.nix) as the default argument.
Whereas, lix fmt simply acts as a nix run .#formatter.
Is this intentional? If so, what is the reason? If not, could I volunteer a PR to match nix's behaviour?

what's lix fmt? is there a lix-fmt executable? | 09:39:47 |
 neindochoh! / Seti (they/them) | Lix 2.92 introduced a breaking change in the behaviour of the fmt command: https://docs.lix.systems/manual/lix/2.94/release-notes/rl-2.92.html?highlight=fmt#breaking-changes | 09:46:19 |

btw, what are Lix and Nix versions you're having? | 09:54:35 |

I believe nix changed that behavior like a year ago at this point | 11:19:50 |
| niko ⚡️ | There’s been numerous warnings about that behavior changing soon at least | 11:20:06 |
| niko ⚡️ | This is also why it’s advised to use nixfmt-tree for the formatter output | 11:20:26 |

This is also why it’s advised to use nixfmt-tree for the formatter output i have nixfmt enforced in CI, and rather than using nixfmt-tree, i just use a glob on all the files on the directory | 17:45:55 |
