3:48 sounds weird in imperative style thinking, but given in a functional-imperative approach, i would say having one expression / evaluated result per file makes total sense?
2:40 how does "./." evaluate to... anything? Wouldn't it just mean something like - a file called dot in the current directory, which just isn't a thing?
Motioncanvas just makes it simpler. I'd spend much more time on it if I used Blender + PNG code blocks like I did before. Mutating code was tedious the old way because I had to make sure that every frame stays in the same place and has the same size. Moving code-blocks was a nightmare, and now I can slide everything around with a couple of keystrokes. Vim macros make the process even more enjoyable :D
Too fast Yurii, as someone who read the docs and played with the repl and wrote some nix code I get all of this. But past me who just installed nix in a VM or hardware probably wouldn't understand much. The editing is also not good. That time you showed different ways of declaring nested atrrsets the editing flipped between all the versions too fast and instead should've showed them side by side.
As someone who used to other language and just wanted a crash course this was perfect. I’d rather have to pause when needed then play the video at 2x speed or something
I think it's fine too, I personally rather have it fast and pause the video when needed, as opposed to setting the video to 2x - very subjective the explanations are great though!
JUST what is needed ! Please keep it up. Thanks.
Literally the best videos about nix. And easy to understand too. Great stuff
Agreed, this is super helpful. Keep up the great work!
Amazing introduction! The configuration files syntax makes more sense now
This looks like a beautiful language! And how lovely that it has such a practical use case

8:08 left old title, oops
I think this is the best introductory video on the nix language that I’ve seen 🙌🏼
Love the videos. The editing, the speed and the content. What is really missing though is the text notes😢
I had to pause a lot towards the end, but it's very informative.
This is great & very helpful - thanks!

./. Means current directory
6:09 So like currying in Haskell? Awesome!
4:58 wouldn't it evaluate to { a = 5; b = 10; c = 15; } instead of just 15
Yeah, that's a visual mistake
Immediately stumbled across that aswell. But catching that means the concepts start to click I guess.
Wow the quality just shot way up! Thanks !
Please cover some high order functions like map on your next video!
3:10 was the image on the right meant to stay still?
Yes, there is a slight offset there for some reason
Edit: Yes as in you are right, not as in it was meant to stay still
Please make a video for the built in functions.
Thanks! Can you please make a video on how to manage secrets?
Maybe. I tried sops-nix, but I did not have any use cases for it.
Great work!! Thank you!
Amazing video, please make a guide on how to setup startx. I can’t figure it out
Do you think making such a video would have been significantly more difficult without motioncanvas?
Motioncanvas just makes it simpler. I'd spend much more time on it if I used Blender + PNG code blocks like I did before. Mutating code was tedious the old way because I had to make sure that every frame stays in the same place and has the same size.

6:25 Thanks for the curry!
thanks would like to see a vid on functions
How do you make the animations for the videos?

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind
Agreed
I think its fine. I'm a nixos noob, but I can just pause when needed. The peace is fine too me.

Video on deploy-rs please
Great video!
Thanks!
🎉
You explained it well I think, but I just can't get used to it. I really really don't like this syntax at all.
😂 this video is sooo late
better late than never
@@vimjoyer ofcourse
based
OMG BE MY MOM
Good information but absolutely terrible presentation
Sorry
These videos are awesome ma dude and I would really like to see you cover the built-in functions in another video as well. 👍🤌
