How should `lingo` interact with `nix`?

[lhstrh]

See lf-lang/lingua-franca@75ebf6d#r1278621320 for more context.

[tanneberger]

you mean the nix that is shipped by the our pico lf template ?

[lhstrh]

I'm referring to the nix configuration in https://github.com/lf-lang/lf-3pi-template, but I'm interested in answering this question in the broader scope of what this might look like when we depend on lingo to build packages like these.

[gundralaa]

I think that nix should run outside of lingo. It makes more sense to me to use nix as an optional packaging system for certain applications like lf-3pi-template and make sure lingo and lfc are accessible as packages in the shell.

[tanneberger]

Agreed, wrapping nix around lingo makes more sense.

and so far we didn't work against the nix paradigm.
