First, congrats on the release. I’ve looked at flox and devenv for nixifying our container builds. Our distribution of languages is about 40/30/20/10 of Python, F#, R and nodejs.

A dilemma I’m facing is that the win from nix in terms of faster builds and smaller images would be largely from python and R images (where the average size is often 1Gi or larger). However, the developers that use Python or R are less likely to “get” the point of Nix and might have a steeper learning curve than F# developers (where the builds are quite efficient).

That was the context, my question is, how’s the integration with Flox and R/RStudio? I know there’s Rix[1] for managing R packages with Nix.

We don't currently scrape R, it's on the list, for sure.
