AFAIK because the guy who wrote the PHD thesis thought it was necessary to produce a whole new language (no other language was sufficient).

In my opinion it makes sense, because it is a completely new paradigm and developers from other langs would be used to imperative packaging paradigms.

From your config, stylua has a lot of errors on nvim 0.11.2, but critically I can’t understand how to add `nixpkgs_fmt`. GPT is saying that I need to add a custom formatter.

I am trying to get the lazy.nvim plugins to work for me - I have already removed some stuff like ‘oil’ etc, but the LSP config is so confusing to me, and I can’t really find a lot of documentation for the lazy nvim stuff.

Do you know if another plugin manager might be better suited to a newbie?

I was hoping to have specific areas of my fs have different shell compositions, i.e:

`~/Projects -> php8.1, node-latest`
`~/dev -> python, kotlin`
…

Therefore I made flake in ~/Projects pastebin.com/uKCCiTmM, but it thinks the dir is an input, and tries to copy to store, failing on a `.sock` file

Hey 👋, thanks for this, I have devenv already= due to dependencies with Shopware, related to my work

Today I have been experimenting with mkShell, as I would like it that I can have a set of shells for different purposes. ChatGPT says this is what nix-profiles are for, but AFAIK hm stops this

Ok, maybe I’ll be bold enough to approach devops in this way in the future

In the meantime, yesterday I looked high and low for a way to configure python within home-manager, but I couldn’t see one

Is that a job for manual modules?

When I wrote to you originally I did have specific queries, but they have all sort of dissapeared currently, will add when I fiddle a bit more with my configs. Feedback on my current repo would be much appreciated

With that in mind, I am wondering whether HM is surplus to requirements for me as likelihood of deploying over multiple machines is low. The main advantage I am seeing of Home-Manager is generated zsh configuration, but maybe there is an alternative to this within nix-darwin already? Cheers

Hey Randy,

Thanks for the responses. I think that clears up some things about home-manager for me.

Here is my repo github.com/ScottA38/nix...

I have just migrated to Apple-aarch from Framework-Intel, and I have little understanding of (or even intention to) deploy over multiple machines
