For some context see this thread
Right now it supports building roc apps with external (url) deps and packages built from nix derivations. I have a basic platform builder for rust working as well (building the object files + roc code for the platform).
this example covers the simple case of just building an app. I hope to add some more docs and flesh out the examples over the next few days.
Hopefully this should make it easy to use roc apps in other nix derivations/dev shells!

John Murray (Dec 01 2023 at 22:53):Need to clean this up a bit still, let me know if you get lost!
John Murray (Dec 03 2023 at 03:52):I made a short blog post going over how some of roc2nix works.
Hope to make some more posts on Roc after i do more AoC!
