There’s no doubt that package & dependency management is hell! 🥵🔥 Nix looks like a game changer, allowing multiple versions of packages to be installed, complete dependency specs in package specific directories, and it’s awesome for local vs build envs nixos.org/manual/nix/sta

Been really enjoying NixPkgs. I’d hesitate to recommend it to folks who haven’t bought into the idea and willing to take on the the steep learning curve, but if you are it’s pretty incredible.
Just so cool to have a declarative setup for most of my system, and the subshells for individual projects. Has taken a good amount of time to master, but the recent stuff they’ve done, like flakes and the nix command have really helped make it a little easier for me at least.
