 @leons:is.currently.online | * Yeah, that is indeed much saner, but spending 2 days running the Vivado installer in a Nix derivation until it works tracks for me :D it's originally based on https://github.com/lukaslaobeyer/nix-fpgapkgs (Brad Bondurant this isn't really on topic for Hydra anymore, sent you a DM) | 15:56:31 |

 @ulrikstrid:matrix.org | Why is Hydra written in pearl? | 10:36:48 |
 Alyssa Ross | because it is old | 10:39:36 |

Why is Hydra written in pearl? Not hating on perl, just curious | 10:39:46 |
| @ulrikstrid:matrix.org | In reply to @qyliss:fairydust.space
because it is old Hydra or perl? 😅 | 10:40:00 |
| Alyssa Ross | well both, but I meant Hydra | 10:40:21 |
| @ulrikstrid:matrix.org | Hydra is actually much older than I thought, cool | 10:41:02 |
 das_j | I think the question boils down to "why is anything written in anything?" and the answer is that somebody at some point in time thought of this solution as the best feasible solution | 10:41:07 |

I think the question boils down to "why is anything written in anything?" and the answer is that somebody at some point in time thought of this solution as the best feasible solution Yes, just curious if there was a definitive answer. I didn't realise it's more than 12 years old (even weirder is that 12 years ago is 2010 and not ~2000) | 10:42:01 |
 trofi | What would it be written on if started today? | 10:59:57 |
| @ulrikstrid:matrix.org | Probably Go or Rust? :P | 11:00:27 |
| das_j | In reply to @ulrikstrid:matrix.org
Probably Go or Rust? :P C++ probably because nix is still in that language :( | 11:01:04 |
| @ulrikstrid:matrix.org | In reply to @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de
C++ probably because nix is still in that language :( Was nix initially written in perl? 🤔 | 11:01:38 |
| Alyssa Ross | but C++ existed when Hydra was written | 11:01:48 |
| trofi | Fetchers were probably in perl. | 11:02:11 |

Was nix initially written in perl? 🤔 large parts, yes | 11:02:13 |
| das_j | In reply to @ulrikstrid:matrix.org
Was nix initially written in perl? 🤔 No but you wouldn't write a webapp like hydra in c++ | 11:02:27 |
| Alyssa Ross | I must have misunderstood your previous message then | 11:02:46 |

| das_j | Also yes, it partially was perl | 11:03:23 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | oh actually https://github.com/NixOS/nix/milestone/6?closed=1 is a better overview. | 11:04:06 |
 @grahamc:nixos.org | Perl has very little code that justifies being written in C++, I'm pretty sure it was picked for the website because it both had a popular web framework and the Nix contributors had experience | 13:48:52 |

 samueldr | am I alone in thinking it is a surprising behaviour when executing hydra with foreman that evals being affected by the ambiant NIX_PATH is surprising? | 04:47:45 |
| samueldr | the eval used import <nixpkgs> {}, and nixpkgs was an input of the build (a git checkout) | 04:48:44 |
