Jons MostovojsI spent four days learning <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a>-adjacent toolchains (of which there are four, which are doing some things that are the same and some things that are different: <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/naersk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naersk</a>, <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/fenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fenix</a>, <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/rustPlatform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rustPlatform</a>, <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/nixpkgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nixpkgs</a>.<a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a>).Throughout these four days I have seen at least a dozen of different error messages. Not a single error message had **anything whatsoever** to do with the error site. Reading traces helped, sometimes, but not always. If you are a company who has excess money and you want to make the world a better place, please have your R&D department pick up <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/purenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#purenix</a>, I urge you.I ended up downgrading my whole *large* codebase to <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/rustStable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rustStable</a> and simplifying my <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/flake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flake</a> to:```nix { description = "Flake for building rootrunner with standard nixpkgs Rust and OpenSSL support"; inputs = { nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs"; flake-utils = { url = "github:numtide/flake-utils"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; }; outputs = { self, nixpkgs, flake-utils, ... }: flake-utils.lib.eachSystem [ "x86_64-linux" ] (system: let pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; }; in { devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell { buildInputs = with pkgs; [ rustc cargo rustfmt clippy rust-analyzer pkg-config sqlx-cli postgresql sqlite nodejs pnpm zip unzip rsync openssl.dev openssl ]; }; devShell = self.devShells.${system}.default; } ); } ```

Jons Mostovojs<a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nix</a> UX is such crap, it's unreal.I love the tech, and the language is fun (funny), but it doesn't have to be like this.I wish I had money to self-fund R&D beyond my people's work on <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/ghc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ghc</a> I would totally invest into <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/purenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#purenix</a>.If you want to help me reach my goals of bettering the industry beyond what <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/Serokell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Serokell</a> is doing, please consider asking your executives to have a look at <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/ZeroHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZeroHR</a> for their tech skill assessment needs.<a href="https://zerohr.io" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://zerohr.io</a>

Jons MostovojsJust as I had to got rid of <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/haskell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#haskell</a> tag (in favour of <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/lean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lean</a>), sadly, I feel like it's time to get rid of <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/elixir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elixir</a> tag in my bio.I'm doing a <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a> rewrite of <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/ZeroHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZeroHR</a> backend now and while I'm not ruminating too much over the time and money spent on <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/elixir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elixir</a> backend, I find it so much cheaper and faster to write in well-typed languages.I really hope to become profitable so that I can have a look at <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/PureNix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PureNix</a> + <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/PureErl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PureErl</a> + <a href="https://social.doma.dev/tags/PureScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PureScript</a> combo, but I think I'm years away from such a luxury.

I believe <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/purenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#purenix</a> (<a href="https://github.com/purenix-org/purenix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/purenix-org/purenix</a>) is a better approach, where you can compile PureScript to Nix. It still requires the codegen step, but probably much closer to being production-ready and you have access to the existing PureScript ecosystem.Also an honorary mention to <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nickel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nickel</a> which is supposed to be the next-generation Nix-language, but not yet finished.
