cmake is a punishment for my sins

JavaScript is the most misunderstood language out there. It looks and feels like it’s supposed to be slow as shit but it the very opposite: it’s actually one of the most throughly optimised languages out there, in face of the dynamism. I will forever be grateful for my line of work having had me study JS engines.

Some non-Nix-using friends of mine are complaining about people PRing *.nix to their repo and being unable to keep it maintained because ... well, non-Nix-using. Given how:- This literally does not help you get those things into Nixpkgs because of IFD- Nix is flexible enough to do it out-of-treeUpstreaming an unmaintained flake.nix / shell.nix in-tree does *not* help you use it with Nix.If you're a maintainer in this situation tell them you can't accept to maintain it.
