https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/3968 - this to monitor and poke, there are also a link for a sample wrapper that might or night not help you.

Don't use it - vote with your feet :)

Not quite. Suppose instead of a single version of serde there's now 46 versions like in https://crates.io/crates/parquet to be able to use instances derived in some other crate X you have to use the same version of serde. Now, how should a crate decide which versions of serde to support?

All 46 and all optional? Supporting that would be painful. Just the last one? crates.io is a cemetery full of dead crates, with this support strategy any handful of crates picked at random are not going to be serde-compatible with each other.

A better solution would be a better support for compile time reflection so serde doesn't have to exist in its current state, but that's got delayed (by big macro conspiracy :)

urxvt. It works good enough and doesn't use much memory.

You can find answer to most of the questions in google. And there are always people who are willing to help in the internets.

Kind of like flatpacks but it's done with symlinks and fancy changes to the build systems. I think it fits better for the developer environment.

Biggest package repository, a very strange package manager that lets you reproduce exact environment for any package. But also takes a bunch of time to understand and you basically have to learn a whole new programming language to use it if you don't want to copy-paste examples.

What PPA was it? I'm using this one and it seems to be still native. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt

That said - I'm experimenting with NixOS to move to.

Serde is incredible though

Sure. Fork of it can be incredible too. In fact the only difference can be traditional approach to building the derive macro. All it takes is for people to switch.

Not sure, possibly. You still need to be pretty smart maintaining and extending all those tools.

serde is maintained by dtolnay, he is not the original author.
