“You laugh, but these javascript kids have got a creative end-run around the problem of dependency management that works much better than *yours* does, doesn't it?”
@oxytocin i have tried Nix but not Flakes yet, the dependency model is similar though, isn't it?
@f0x honestly I‘m not sure, browsing through some documentation of npm to figure out how npm works
@oxytocin ah there you go
"(if you're familiar with modern packages managers like cargo or npm, then the overall mechanism shouldn't surprise you - Nix works in a similar way, although without a centralized repository.)"
@oxytocin using git urls for decentralized repos has a fair few downsides as well though, although not sure i have anything on hand to link to
@f0x Have you ever tried Nix? (Especially with flakes?) 🙂
