NixOS: Declarative Builds and Deployments
I have step-by-step video guides (with accompanying git repos) for booting NixOS from zero on both Hetzner VPS instances[1] and bare metal Robot instances[2] with nixos-anywhere[3]. I used to use nixos-infect but now I'm 100% sold on nixos-anywhere.

An Overview of Nix in Practice
I think things are pretty good with nixos-anywhere[1] now. I made a video last month walking through the process of provisioning a VPS on Hetzner Cloud[2] if you want to see what the process looks like in real-time.

NixOS RFC 136 accepted: A plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally
> I can speak new instances of my environment into existence
You're not kidding. I used nixos-anywhere [1] for the first time the other day. You can point it to any linux host and it will partition, format, and supplant the target's existing OS with your nixOS config, all with a single command. Incredible.

Is it possible to morph Debian into NixOS?
There's a few scripts to replace the current os with NixOS: eg https://github.com/numtide/nixos-anywhere

Mise is a polyglot tool version manager
Where are you getting "mise uses asdf" from? mise is simply compatible with all asdf plugins. Not the same thing.
It's even said almost at the top of the README.md in the "30 seconds demo" section:
"The following shows using mise to install different versions of node. Note that calling which node gives us a real path to node, not a shim."
https://github.com/jdx/mise?tab=readme-ov-file#30-second-dem...
So yes, mise does not use shims. It only manipulates $PATH. I did benchmarks a while ago and that definitely and consistently has shaved some milliseconds off of the startup times of my tools.

Install Asdf: One Runtime Manager to Rule All Dev Environments
mise borrows the plugins from asdf, which also makes it non-cross platform. Interesting discussion on this topic on their GitHub: https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/66
Solutions considered include adopting the vfox plugin system or transpiling all asdf plugins to ShellJs.
Now I know that vfox exists.

Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python
Why not just use a tool like asdf (https://asdf-vm.com/) or mise (https://mise.jdx.dev/)?
These tools have the advantage of not being multi-taskers and can manage version for all your tools. You wouldn’t need pyenv and npm and rvm and…
We’ve even started committing the .mise.toml files for projects to our repos. That way, since we work on multiple projects that may need multiple versions of the same tool, it’s handled and documented.

Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
direnv + mise does exactly that. When I cd to various directories I get different env vars, it's pretty neat. Setting aliases would just be a case of adding them.
https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/1525 for an example of how I use direnv with mise.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
Not nix based, but I really like https://github.com/jdx/mise too to manage dev tools.
It’s a modern version of https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf written in Rust.

A Journey to Find an Ultimate Development Environment
The purpose of a version manager is to help you navigate or install any tools for development easily. Version Manager can be one tool for each dependency (e.g. NVM, g) or One tool for all dependencies (e.g. asdf, mise).
What are some alternatives?
nixos-infect - [GPLv3+] install nixos over the existing OS in a DigitalOcean droplet (and others with minor modifications)
asdf - Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more
nixos-playwright - DEPRECATED. Tell your puppeteer or playwright to use nixpkgs's google-chrome-dev's google-chrome-unstable binary. Previously: Patch playwright-downloaded browsers in ~/.cache/ms-playwright to run on NixOS
pyenv-win - pyenv for Windows. pyenv is a simple python version management tool. It lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python. It's simple, unobtrusive, and follows the UNIX tradition of single-purpose tools that do one thing well.
