About droelf

I am Wolf, and involved with conda-forge and conda since a couple years now. So involved that I became the founder of prefix.dev where we are building `pixi` (pixi.sh) as the ultimate package manager / developer tool.

    Thank you, this might be a great way to improve the developer experience in the conda/conda-forge ecosystem.

    Yeah, boot time, isolation (proper VM vs containers), and ease of use on a larger Hetzner box.

    I've been using unikraft ( https://unikraft.org/ ) unikernels for a while and the startup times are quite impressive (easily sub-second for our Rust application).

    Cool! Emscripten-forge also recently got a R distribution that runs natively on the browser: https://blog.jupyter.org/r-in-the-browser-announcing-our-web...

    Pixi works for this use case: https://pixi.sh/latest/ It gives you cross-platform binary packages, quickly (also written in Rust).

    I think for a small configuration TOML might be fine. Where it breaks down in my opinion is in larger configuration files. It just becomes pretty unreadable. Think about a Github A…

    We've been building `pixi` and more specifically "pixi global" as a replacement for homebrew, but based on Conda packages. It creates a single virtual environment per globally inst…

    You should really try `pixi` and `pixi global` - uses Conda packages but much faster, and great experience for installing packages globally. https://pixi.sh

    I think this is really cool. We're tackling this problem from the other side by building `pixi` (pixi.sh) which bundles project / package management with a task runner so that any …
