  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

    • In the 1990s there was this innovation called the "progress bar". nix-channel --update released in 2022(!) has infinite hanging instead: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3236 (bugs since 2019).

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

    • There are currently 1.7k issued opened on the Nix's GitHub (for comparison - both https://github.com/rust-lang/rust and https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn have >5k), so tending to them all is just physically impossible - with limited time and resources, one has to choose; and apparently nix-channel --update simply isn't that much of an issue compared to the others.

  • Roslyn

    The Roslyn .NET compiler provides C# and Visual Basic languages with rich code analysis APIs.

    • There are currently 1.7k issued opened on the Nix's GitHub (for comparison - both https://github.com/rust-lang/rust and https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn have >5k), so tending to them all is just physically impossible - with limited time and resources, one has to choose; and apparently nix-channel --update simply isn't that much of an issue compared to the others.
