Every Nixy solution I could find or conceive had too many points spread across
these various facets:
- Flimsy (emacsWithPackagesFromUsePackage)
- Inelegant (builtins.exec, manual listings)
- Inflexible (emacsWithPackagesFromUsePackage)
- Otherwise unergonomic (everything }:D)
Straight.el is sufficiently declarative, flexible, and Nix-friendly without
blindly bowing down to the imperialist NixOS user. Now, Convenience and
ergonomics shan't be forsaken for the dogma that is total Nixation.
Working:
- The daemon
- Mutable config — well, kinda. I'm not yet sure how it will interact with
`emacsWithPackagesFromUsePackage`.
- Packages via Nixpkgs
