I am very much looking forward to trying Nix I just haven’t made the time.

That being said the article jogged my memory on some related thoughts...

If you’re building deb packages for your own apt repo aptly is a great tool for powering it https://www.aptly.info/

If you haven’t tried asdf for managing versions of tools it generally does what you’d expect and does it well https://asdf-vm.com/#/ It uses pyenv under the hood for Python management AFAIK.



asdf is awesome and if you combine it with direnv you can just cd into your project and have the versions ready to go

(You can do the same with nix and direnv asdf - althrough I havent got that far yet)


What's your use case for direnv? I've been using asdf and love it, but I'm not sure what to use direnv for. Is the purpose to replace .env files?
