    Project mention: NixTest: a tiny unit testing framework written in pure nix | reddit.com/r/NixOS | 2023-05-16

    As part of the work we've been doing with [devbox](https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox), we needed a unit testing framework to test some of our nix code. Unfortunately we had some use cases where we did *not* want to introduce a dependency on `nixpkgs` (and therefore we couldn't use `runTests`).

  • gon

    Sign, notarize, and package macOS CLI tools and applications written in any language. Available as both a CLI and a Go library. (by mitchellh)

    Project mention: Sickcodes/Docker-OS X: Run macOS VM in a Docker | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-13

    It might be less effort to use something like this: https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2021/04/14/pure-rust-implement...

    Might even be able to modify `gon` to use that instead of Apple's `codesign` and then you'll have notarization too: https://github.com/mitchellh/gon

  • gow

    Missing watch mode for Go commands. Watch Go files and execute a command like "go run" or "go test" (by mitranim)

    Project mention: How to start a Go project in 2023 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-23

    The article mentions GOW[0] for a file watcher. If anyone is looking for a non-go specific one, I've really enjoyed reflex[1]. Makes it super easy to reload different parts of a project based on what type of file has changed.

  • qb

    Zero-configuration build system to very quickly build C/C++ projects. (by codecat)

  • hotbuild

    a cross platform hot compilation tool for golang

  • knit

    A simple and flexible build tool using Lua, similar to make/mk.

    Project mention: Why Use Make | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-11

    I've been working on a tool called Knit (https://github.com/zyedidia/knit) that I think is similar to what you are looking for. Essentially, a Knitfile is a Lua program with Make's declarative rule syntax baked in. It is like Make (with some additional changes inspired by Plan9 mk), but where Make's custom scripting language is replaced with Lua. It's still in progress (I'm currently using it in some projects, and then will likely make some more changes based on my experiences), but I hope to release a stable version in the next few months. If you or others also have feedback, please let me know!
