My development shells for usual type of projects to quickly spawn one when spelunking other peoples' projects. This can be easily spawned from the devShells attribute from the flake output (i.e., nix develop $FLAKE#$DEVENV). But if you are using a non-flake setup and the channels are set correctly, it should still be usable with nix-shell <config/shells> -A $SHELL_NAME.

Caution
This is not supposed to be a list of development environment encompassing all type of projects but rather it is just for quickly spawning one for spelunking.

This is a personal preference to creating a specific NixOS/home-manager profile module for setting up those type of environments considering that…

  • You dont need a profile to spawn the environment with devShells. By setting it as a profile to either NixOS or home-manager (or any other similar profiles), youre basically locking yourself in that environment.

  • It is cleaner. :)

  • Creating project-specific development environments is a thing.
