 mei 🌒& | * sticking all the New Good Things in one thing was so stupid in hindsight | 17:15:12 |
| mei 🌒& | like i occasionally get impurities and i have to weed them out manually because nix doesn't have a pureScope thing | 17:15:51 |
| mei 🌒& | and it's nice to have a standard flake.lock but something like niv or whatever should've been softly adopted as The Official Solution perhaps | 17:17:02 |
 k0kada (he/him) | Well, I miss a few things about flakes, but still like the idea in general | 17:17:08 |
| mei 🌒& | and the standardized outputs are frankly a joke but the inputs part and the entrypoint spec is great and should've also been its own thing | 17:17:32 |
| k0kada (he/him) | One thing that I really miss is having an input that doesn't propagate | 17:17:37 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Like dev inputs | 17:17:41 |
| mei 🌒& | the git tracking and source copying is absolutely stupid | 17:18:11 |
| mei 🌒& | at least the impl, the idea has some merit | 17:18:27 |
| mei 🌒& | like default.nix: import ./foo.nix, foo.nix empty staged file, unstaged changes with actual nix code | 17:19:11 |
| mei 🌒& | and it still runs | 17:19:16 |

Actually, maybe I should just add it to the module Well, another idea to do in NixCon Hackathon | 17:22:38 |
| k0kada (he/him) | That or finally create a proper RetroArch module | 17:22:47 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Or both :D | 17:22:55 |
| mei 🌒& | i'd like nix to declare everything | 17:23:25 |
| mei 🌒& | but rebuilds are so damn slow | 17:23:28 |
| k0kada (he/him) | Yeah, it would be really nice if they could optimize the interpreter | 17:24:28 |
| mei 🌒& | it's already had its insides squeezed | 17:24:50 |
| k0kada (he/him) | I remember that I saw some years ago someone trying to do this, but I don't think they got really far | 17:24:55 |
| mei 🌒& | there's tvix rewriting it | 17:24:59 |

there's tvix rewriting it Did they write anything about this? | 17:25:26 |
| mei 🌒& | https://tvl.fyi/blog/rewriting-nix | 17:25:37 |
| k0kada (he/him) | In reply to @ckie:ckie.dev
https://tvl.fyi/blog/rewriting-nix Ah ok, I saw this one | 17:26:07 |
| k0kada (he/him) | In reply to @ckie:ckie.dev
there's tvix rewriting it Read tweag for some reason instead of tvix | 17:26:19 |
| k0kada (he/him) | In reply to @k0kada:matrix.org
Ah ok, I saw this one This one is the one that I think they didn't got really far | 17:26:31 |
| k0kada (he/him) | At least I remember looking at their repo and looking kinda of abandoned | 17:26:42 |
| mei 🌒& | maybe I will try to poke it soon | 17:26:59 |
| mei 🌒& | oh hey, there's a default.nix for the docs, lets hit that | 17:28:55 |
| mei 🌒& | here, look | 17:29:47 |
| mei 🌒& | abscurd | 17:29:48 |
