18:12 <evils> hi, i'm interested in learning Rust, can someone recommend a shell.nix that'll get me tools i'll need?

22:31 <colemickens> this is my uber devenv: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/colemickens/nixcfg/main/shells/uber-devenv.nix

22:31 <colemickens> it pulls in beta rust from mozilla's overlay, and it includes the stuff needed to make rust-analyzer work in vscodium (though I in fact use this shell.nix to then run `cargo xtask install` from a rust-analyzer checkout to install rust-analyzer)

22:31 <colemickens> evils: ^

22:36 <evils> colemickens: thanks, building now, i assume it's ok to replace that ../../nixpkgs/cmpkgs with <nixpkgs>

22:37 <colemickens> you got it

22:37 <evils> ok, and that magically resolves the linking with 'cc failed' error i was getting

22:38 <evils> `linking with 'cc' failed`

22:40 <evils> colemickens: a few questions, how much of this do i actually need? (right now i'm trying to learn rust, eventual goal is writing keyboard firmware); is using the beta rust channel recommended?; how do i add a shell hook to that?

22:40 <colemickens> I don't know about shell hooks, sorry. You don't need the rust channel, you probably don't need the mozilla overlay even.

22:41 <colemickens> It's definitely not minimal, just something I knew works enough to get you started/unblocked.

22:48 <evils> ok, seems like you can just add a `shellHook` to mkDerivation and it'll work the same

22:51 <evils> ah darn, it's the shellHook messing things up...

22:51 <evils> this isn't even the first time that happened to me...
