Thanks so much to everyone who hung in this week as we’ve all worked to fix the state of the Nix community. It’s been a ride; but I think things are going to get better.
Here’s the last major piece of the puzzle — the product of several months of work from an absolutely incredible team. It’s not ready for a full announcement, but we’ve opened our beta so people who are fleeing the core Nix community have a place to go.
Btw, probably well-known by those closely involved in Nix et al, there's also #TVIX by The Virus Lounge, a #Rust reimplementation of the #Nix language. And a project that got funding from #NLnet@NGIZero
Another important milestone reached today for #tvix !
We now have tooling to (quickly, sub-second) start VMs executing binaries (and closures) from a tvix-store running on the host, passed in via virtiofs, without any need to rebuild initrds. https://tvix.dev/
