guix VS org-jira

> So what we are missing now is a 500GB framework that can write the config file for the programming language that is writing a config file for the actual program I wish to use.

That exists since 1960. It's called LISP. The e.g. https://guix.gnu.org/ uses with great success, the Guile Scheme dialect of LISP, to be precise. And FYI the "framework" is:

  $ ls --human-readable --size $(readlink $(which guile))

> inventing a brand new purely functional language programming language.

ISTM that if you dislike that, then there's GUIX.

https://guix.gnu.org/

Very briefly, AFAICT, it's "Nix but using Scheme".

And just wait till you discover Arch Linux, Gentoo, Guix, or NixOS.

https://guix.gnu.org for example. It did load before an update but it doesn't anymore.

Is it? Seems to me it's used for some pretty cool stuff, heard of Guix?

I think a "competitor" to Lua would be Guile [1], but I am not sure if it gets close to Lua in terms of lightweightness... it was designed to be used in the GNU project, with similar objects as Lua: to be light, easily embeddable. It's a Scheme (Lisp) so maybe not for everyone's taste... its "coolest" use i know of is for configuring Guix [2] (the GNU version of Nix).

No one said Guix yet, might be worth a look: https://guix.gnu.org/

GNU Guix! A fully functional package manager and distro heavily inspire by Nix. The primary difference between it and Nix being that it is almost entirely written and configured in GNU Guile, an implementation of Scheme (Lisp) and the official extension language of the GNU Project (originally intended to be for GNU what emacs lisp is for emacs).

You should perhaps utilize guix for your projects. It provides rather acceptable rust resp. crates support and in a perfectly reproducible build environment. But be aware, that it even tries to build even the rust compiler from source by going through all this nasty steps of its iterative bootstrap process. This can be a little bit complex and time-consuming, if you need an up-to-date version of rustc.

What ticket system is used? If it JIRA there is the org-jira package.

org-jira My current company is trying to switch to Aha right now though, which I'm not happy about. If anyone knows of a link between Aha and org, I'd love a way to sync between them automatically.

You may find ahungry/org-jira useful then in that case.

If you are open to try Emacs and its Org mode there is ahungry/org-jira which integrates Org mode with Jira. I've not used Jira before and hence not org-jira but my entire GTD system is within Emacs and Org mode.

Worth mentioning that Emacs has org-jira if you want text mode jira.

Previously I've worked successfully with JIRA (https://github.com/ahungry/org-jira) and Trello (http://org-trello.github.io) but I guess not every tool has a bidirectional sync with Emacs.

If the notes you keep are terse and to the point, though, then syncing Org and Jira 1:1 can make a lot of sense. In that case, do check out the popular Ejira and org-jira packages, which help with just that!
