Nix-Powered Development with OCaml
After a lot of hesitation and energized by a work incentive, I tried Nix last week.<p>I&#x27;ve followed the official docs, had to resort on Google et al. quite quickly to solve mundane problems (installing a channel is not on the default path of the docs for the new learner), and after much wandering and trial and error, I evenrially went to the discourse and asked what I should use between flakes, nix shell or develop... Every single answer was 1&#x2F;extremely informative and nice 2&#x2F; crystal clear that Nix was in a confusing, in-between stage in its life cycle.<p>I very much appreciate the community and efforts but I work for a company that cannot afford the commitment that Nix requires right now. I will happily come back in 2 years and reevaluate.
