Nix itself is just a cross-platform package manager, independent of the 
operating system NixOS. (Though, NixOS is pretty amazing by itself.)

https://ocharles.org.uk/blog/posts/2014-02-04-how-i-develop-with-nixos.html is 
one of the best known introductions I think (but note that Ollie wrote this 
in 2014). 
http://ebzzry.io/en/nix/#developmentenvironment might also be a good spot 
to start.

I'm a little surprised that more people haven't tried nix for pinning their 
Elm tools... E.g. pop a shell.nix file like this into your project root and 
you'll have it pinned to elm 0.18 indefinitely:

  pkgs =

postInstall =

];
  };
in
  pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation

  version = "0.0.0";
  buildInputs =
( with pkgs.elmPackages;
  [
elm-make
elm-package
elm-repl
elm-reactor
elm-format
elm-oracle
  ]
);
}


As a bonus you can get to add extra goodies like elm-format, elm-oracle, 
your own personalized fork of elm-reactor or other non-elm tools perhaps 
(grunt, webpack, nodejs, etc...).

Just a thought anyway :)

I agree with this, but the effort needs to start with the library authors.

As far as I can tell (searching this list, Google, & r/elm), Erik is the 
only one of these authors who has publicized their work in any way.

If you invent a wheel, you need to tell people about it. You can't just 
leave it lying in your front yard and hope that people walk by your house 
:-)

Exactly my point.
There needs to be a better advertising of the ecosystem both in terms of
tools and in terms of packages.

None of these tools are mentioned in the Elm documentation. It only points to 
installers and the npm module.

Elm aims to have one, excellent option rather than a plethora of slightly
different libraries/tools.

The fact that there are so many tools for this simple task is actually
indicative of problems in the ecosystem.
It seams that people interested in a certain functionality don't find it
even if it exists.

Checkout out https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-use as well. I believe it 
serves a similar purpose.

2017-04-05 Thread Rex van der Spuy 

Thanks so much, this is really useful!
I've have quite a few projects that are in different versions of Elm, and 
migrating them all en-masse to the latest version is always a chore.
It will be great to go back and an compile them in 0.17 and 0.16 again! :)
