Hi all, There was some recent talk about difficulty with Nix+Ruby <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/13381>, and from the looks of it, it's been a couple years since the Ruby infrastructure in Nixpkgs was last touched (the `nix' rubygems plugin itself was last released in 2011).
I will be using/supporting Ruby in my soon-to-be job (after about 7 months of fantastic funemployment time :D), so it's very important to me that Nix has good ruby/gem/bundler support. As I will be pushing for the production use of NixOS, I'll have quite some skin in the game. Given both my own interests in the success of Ruby on Nix and my experience with Ruby and its packaging, I would like to coordinate development efforts in this area. I would love to hear about particular use cases and any problems with the current setup, and what features you don't care for (that way we aren't limited by legacy design choices). I will soon begin work on an alternative to the old `nix' gem, and I'll see if I can get Bundler working well too. Feel free to further develop this thread, or if you want to quickly hash things out, you can find me on #nixos as cstrahan. I get alerts on my phone when my name is mentioned, so I should be fairly responsive. -Charles
