Plutus, Haskell, Nix, Purescript, Swift/Kotlin. laser-focused on FP: formality, purity, and totality; repulsed by pragmatic, unsafe, “move fast and break things” approaches

  • I’d definitely use it (and I do) for deploying remote software and for the use cases you mentioned. Still, we can all agree that, in the context of Nixos, native derivations are superior and almost always preferred. I am currently using a flatpak of zen-browser until the derivations can get added to nixpkgs. But that’s just a temporary patch that I will remove soon. I have also seen containers outperform Nix in software that strictly enforces the FHS style and doesn’t play nicely in the immutable world.

    I’m really glad to hear that. Thank you! This is definitely the best Lemmy app on iOS even with the architecture mistake you mentioned.

    I’d also recommend looking into the FRP paradigm for the front end with a purely Functional back end. Even though swift doesn’t have currying anymore, you may be able to REALLY elegantly architect it using that style.

    Anyway, when you do, LMK. I’d LOVE to help.
