Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.

Announcing "dir-local-env.el", set directory-local variables without a ".dir-locals.el" file (for example from within "init.el")
If you are interested in a “direnv but in Elisp”, you may want to check out this package: https://github.com/astoff/buffer-env.

Nix Survival Mode: macOS upgrades won't break Nix anymore
Yes, most Nix users employ https://direnv.net or the equivalent for your IDE of choice. Emacs for instance has https://github.com/purcell/envrc which set per-buffer variables.

Beginner question: how do I set up virtual environments in my Python buffer?
Also take a look at the envrc package. I think it handles multiple projects better.

How do YOU use your PKMS?
I further make my software projects so that when I click a link I go into an environment pre-loaded with their dependencies so dropping in/out of projects is always frictionless. I do this with the reproducibility guarantees of nix, along with glue like nix-direnv and envrc-mode to direnv.

Minimal approach for python devel environment with flake
In conjunction with installing direnv on your favorite text editor, it's a very hassle free experience. Everything happens automatically. If you use Emacs, i higly recommend envrc.el

Nix and envrc
Direnv is installed using the nix-direnv installation instructions under "Via configuration.nix in NixOS". I read some recommendations that envrc.el is a better alternative then direnv.el, and after some testing I have to agree. (envrc-global-mode) is enabled in my config. This works perfectly with a normal emacs instance.

Emacs + emacs-direnv + Nix + vterm does not just work
I don't use flake.nix, only shell.nix, though check if the envrc package works any better for you. https://github.com/purcell/envrc

Wrapping gcc with libraries
As an alternative to emacs-direnv, I’d recommend the “envrc” package.

Eglot appreciation post
btw, my main issue regarding tramp was the fact that I didn't have my environment generated by direnv, via the https://github.com/purcell/envrc package. I use direnv almost exclusively to activate my nix-shell, so I can access the exact software dependencies required by that directory of a project.

Is it possible to let overlay Emacs use locally configured Agda libraries inside nix-shell?
I'm not familiar with these tools too but I highly recommend to look at https://github.com/purcell/envrc. If you are not familiar with direnv I suggest to try it with nix-shell/flakes before.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing buffer-env and envrc you can also consider the following projects:
Elpy - Emacs Python Development Environment
emacs-direnv - direnv integration for emacs
nix - Nix, the purely functional package manager
dotemacs
emacs-sidecar-locals
direnv - unclutter your .profile
dir-local-env - Emacs system to configure directory local variables without .dir-local.el files
lsp-bridge - A blazingly fast LSP client for Emacs
stack - The Haskell Tool Stack
