Otter in Nix files

[LamprosPitsillos]

Would it be possible to use otters in nix files with anotated code blocks?

nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter#4658

Not quite yet, but I'm working on some improvements to the parsing (in
#60) and took the opportunity to also include those special comments you show for nix, which looks to work so far!

[LamprosPitsillos]

Really exciting!
Thanks for your work. If you need testers @ me , I'll be glad to help

You can already test with this branch, if you want. Let me know if you find bugs :)

Adding nix support to otter could be interesting to use when writing shell scripts in nix files. It would solve a problem I have where I like to write my shell scripts declaratively with nix but miss out on stuff like formatters (shfmt) and linters (shellcheck). It could also be useful for homemanager users who use home.file.<name>.text.

P.S. For anyone curious, here's a great video demonstrating writing shell scripts inside nix files.

The branch is merged now, feel free to try it out. Formatting as you mentioned should also work if you have a language server that supports "textDocument/rangeFormatting" requests, via otter.ask_format

Though if is is a separate formatter not part of a language server, the easier approach is to use vims native filters, e.g. visual mode select followed by :!shfmt if shfmt accepts input at stdin.
