Nix the package manager has gained a lot of popularity in the last 18 months or so. I would love to be able to show other Gophers, how they can leverage Nix and its ecosystem to improve their development environments.
Including how we can use it to create more consistent development environments, between different devices and other engineers. So we get the same development environment and tooling as each other. Then how can we use it in CI, Go have essentially the same local development environment and CI development environment. Avoiding the dreaded “it works on my machine” meme.
Go is the perfect language to pair with Nix because of how simple it is to set up with Nix. Due to it having some great tooling already. We will see, we can replace some of our existing tooling to manage developer environments with Nix.
