Devenv is switching Nix implementation to Tvix

congrats for switching over.
thanks for writing about the adoption chasm as well - unfortunately that sounds like a pretty real issue.

What timeframe do you anticipate this switch to happen in? As you mention in the announcement, there are still some missing components, and judging from a look at the TVL repo, tvix is not quite ready for end users yet.

Any timeframe that I’d say would be pure speculation, we have to get things in order before we make the switch.

We’d have confidence in the evaluator and the tooling to be able to debug any issues before that happens.

Getting things right takes time, we’re not aiming for perfection but rather a good test coverage and tooling.

That’s also why I’ve laid out in the post about the scope of work rather than a made up timeframe.
