  • Xmake: A modern C/C++ build tool

    re: C/C++ development: anybody using conda/pixi for dependency management? Here's an example of compiling a C++ SDL program using pixi and the SDL dependency from conda-forge [1].

    Seems viable as a replacement for things like vckpg [2] which only builds from source.

    I'm still researching this but it seems like rattler [3] is the tool to use to build/publish packages. The supported repos are: prefix.dev's own hosting, anaconda.org, artifactory or a self-hosted server.

    I recently started using https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi for Python projects. I really love it so far, but this tool looks a bit more mature, which makes sense considering pixi is relatively new.
  • Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python

    Have you tried https://pixi.sh/ ? It brings Cargo/NPM/Poetry like commands and lock files to the Conda ecosystem, and now can manage and lock PyPI dependencies alongside by using uv under the hood.

    I haven't been using anything CUDA, but the scientific geospatial stack is often a similar mess to install, and it's been handling it really well.

    Isn't this basically what pixi wants to be? Wouldn't it be better to work together?
