I’m new to nix, but I really went full beans on it: installed NixOS on my daily and I’m using nix-shell for some projects and yesterday I learned how nix docker images work.
I was actively avoiding flakes because I try never to use unstable/experimental features until they are stabilised so I can rely on them.
Thing is, they seem to be ubiquitous. Their reason to exist makes sense to me and I think I should learn how to use them to fully take advantage of the ecosystem.
My question: is it fairly safe to assume nix flakes won’t suddenly break on me? is there any known roadmap to flakes stabilisation?
Yes. The format is widely accepted by the community and generally everybody’s preferred way of organizing and sharing code.
