So, how ready is this for general use? Is there anything still missing in the implementation?
It feels like things are heating up, and "soon" is on the horizon.
PS: TVL is international, but a lot of the development will take place in our office in Moscow. Say hi if you're around and interested! That's going to be a no from me.
By the way, is there some way to specify dependencies in C? Like requirements.txt in Python, where you put libraries names and versions and the user has to run a single command to install them (and without requiring root privileges)? Is this nix/tvix/guix an equivalent of pip?
{ pkgs, ... }: {
services.postgres = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.postgresql_15;
initialDatabases = [{ name = "mydb"; }];
extensions = extensions: [
extensions.postgis
extensions.timescaledb
];
settings.shared_preload_libraries = "timescaledb";
initialScript = "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS timescaledb;";
};

Check out devenv.sh from the Cachix people, it allows you to list stuff like pip for any language, including services / postgresql extensions: { pkgs, ... }: { services.postgres = { enable = true; package = pkgs.postgresql_15; initialDatabases = [{ name = "mydb"; }]; extensions = extensions: [ extensions.postgis extensions.timescaledb ]; settings.shared_preload_libraries = "timescaledb"; initialScript = "CREATE EXTEN…

There's no need for more fragmentation in this ecosystem. Already package managers are heavily fragmented in the Linux world. This is making a bad problem worse.

But it looks like a good choice for running tests in CI.
For somebody who hasn't used Nix yet, but heard good things about it, why use Tvix instead of Nix? The page didn't seem to mention the reason(s) behind the project.
