  • devenv

    Fast, Declarative, Reproducible, and Composable Developer Environments

  • rust-overlay

    Pure and reproducible nix overlay of binary distributed rust toolchains

  • In this language context specifically, if one wanted to manage their workspace with Nix I would reach for Riff and/or oxalica/rust-overlay first, since they are deliberately more aware of Rust-specific nuance. In the latter's case it has compatibility paths with rustup-toolchain files as well, for allowing your peers who can't or won't adopt Nix to continue to feel like first-class participants in the project. Another alternative I don't have experience with would be nix-community/fenix.

    Discontinued Riff automatically provides external dependencies for Rust projects, with support for other languages coming soon.
