Hi all,
I’ve written some words about elm2nix 0.1 release at elm2nix 0.1 – Hercules CI blog
Hope you find that useful for your Elm projects,

Very cool, thank you for this work! Much better than the shell scripts I’d cobbled together. 
I’m curious about the output of default.nix. In the (admittedly very small number of) projects I’ve worked on, there’s just one Main.elm file that I want to compile, and I want it to produce either index.html or a .js file – not Main.html.
Seems like maybe you’re trying to satisfy both app and package use cases here? I’m not sure there’s a reason to build a package with nix, seems like those all have to flow through package.elm-lang.org and get built as part of some application, no?
Also, have you considered embedding something like the optimize.sh script from the guide?
That’s great feedback
I wanted to support compiling more than one target, it’s not common but I had an use case of compiling two Main modules. But now I see you can only output one file, so it would make sense to make output filename configurable.
As for optimizations, happy to improve that part if you submit a PR - I’m using Parcel as plain elm asset manager is too simple. But I think we should have out-of-the-box support for it with all the knobs.
