@creationix @gritzko what is lit?

@dominictarr @gritzko https://luvit.io/lit.html  https://github.com/luvit/lit  https://lit.luvit.io/ 

@dominictarr @gritzko it's the package manager I wrote for luvit (which originally was a reimplementation of node in lua)

@creationix @gritzko does it compile? does it use llvm perchance? can it compile to javascript?

@dominictarr have you ever tried Nix? I reckon at the very least you'll like the ideas underpinning it

@yoshuawuyts what do I do instead of `apt-get install <x>` the documentation makes no sense!

@dominictarr yeah, the docs are pretty full on. Basic CLI usage summary here: https://github.com/yoshuawuyts/knowledge/blob/master/bin/nix.md#manage-packages …, additional links included

@yoshuawuyts hmm, disapointed they clear out old versions. could get node@5.9 or node@4 what if i need to debug something in 5.7?
