Nix, The Build-Everything Language (with Julian Arni)

Ever since we invented makefiles, the programming world has been wrestling with the problem of building software stacks reliably. This week we’re going to look at one of the most ambitious solutions available - Nix. Nix tries to do everything from invoking your compiler to installing your language, and even providing your operating system. But how does it work in theory, and how well does it work in practice?Joining me to discuss is Julian Arni, a Nix-enthusiast and creator of a build/test/deploy service called Garnix.Nix has been one of my go-to tools for years - I hope it’ll find its way into your stack.–Nix Overview: https://nixos.org/explore/Nix Tutorial: https://nix.dev/tutorials/first-steps/Nix Flakes: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/FlakesThe Nix Package List: https://search.nixos.org/packagesGarnix.IO: https://garnix.io/Julian’s NixCon Talk, Call by Hash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU9ogB9hZZASupport Developer Voices on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DeveloperVoicesSupport Developer Voices on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@developervoices/joinKris on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/krisajenkins.bsky.socialKris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkinsKris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/
