Greetings everyone! I'll go for my #introduction : I'm a mathematics bachelor doing a PhD in music technology. My way into the Tidal Cycles (music live coding system) code base happily brought me into Haskell and functional programming. Currently I daily drive NixOS on my laptop and have been using nix-shell to share a development environment for my own Haskell live coding music library with my advisors.

I find Nix's scope and principles are very engaging. I think reproducibility, simple mathematical denotation and full source bootstrapabilty are the wayforward for the software development.

I'm not a programmer by trade, but am sure I can contribute something meaningful. I'll dig into the ideas and work on a suitable proposal.

Hello everyone, so we were looking into nix-darwin and how it is implemented , we want to create similar projects to bring declarative and reproducible package management and system configurations to debian systems first and then hopefully branch out to other linux distros as well, and since nothing like nix-debian exists now, possibly due to the various distribution specific details, package managers and system service management tools, is it viable to atleast start working on a specific distros (i.e nix-debian) ? if not please elaborate .
