Yeah, this is what I gets me frustrated about OPAM coming from Cargo. I get now that I can use switches and direnv to emulate a similar behaviour, but expecting somebody to know that from the start annoying. I had to read a random post on the OCaml forum to learn that.

Yeah I feel like every time I learn it I bounced off hard. But yeah, now I'm learning Nix - which is an even more beginner hostile thing, but hopefully has better payoff long term wrt. reproducibility and isolation than trying to get my head around OPAM 😅

This is an experiment at getting OCaml set up with Nix: twitter.com/brendanzab/sta I still consider it to be an "advanced workflow" as Nix is even less well documented than OPAM's stuff, but yeah, I thought I'd at least try to help matters by making it public.

Made overly elaborate example of a ‘Hello World’ package with Nix flakes, OCaml, and Dune: github.com/brendanzab/oca Disclaimer: I'm a beginner at Nix and I've never really used OCaml or Dune before so if you know these, please tell me if I am doing anything silly. 🥴
