I would prefer this not to get merged until it supports other platforms. I depend on nix on other platforms to compiler roc. I assume that is the case for some other people as well.

I probably can try to look into this on my m1 mac

👍 no problem, I wanted to merge it because nix-shell does not work (#1846) on NixOS but I mentioned the branch on zulip so that should do for now.

| NixOS users should make use of the nix flake by [enabling nix flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes). Shell creation can be done by executing `nix develop` from the root of the repo. NixOS users that do not make use of this flake will get stuck on issue #1846. |

does nix develop still work with lorri / direnv?

Making direnv work with flakes requires some minor config changes, see here.
For lorri there is this workaround which does require a different shell.nix . I do suppose that once we support the same platforms with flakes we can swap our current shell.nix out with the workaround version.

Uhu, It does fix #1846, which is all the effect I needed :p |
|
@bhansconnect Does this look mergeable to you? |
Added nix flake as a workaround for #1846.
The flake currently only works on linux x86_64, I'll make an issue to add support for other configurations.
Building(
cargo build) will regularly print an error message concerning version issues with ncurses (see #2735 ), but everything works.
