I’ve been watching this PR which adds binary executable wrappers to Nixpkgs as an alternative to shell-based executable wrappers. It might seem niche, but it solves a portability problem for wrapped interpreters in Nixpkgs which has existed for several years now and is painful for macOS users. (Maybe @toonn has some interest in tracking or mentioning the progress of this effort as a more minor issue in Nix 🖤 macOS Monthly ?)
Reviewers will need to know something about C, and activity today indicates that the author (@bergkvist) is still actively investigating new ways to ensure the implementation is robust and safe. But I just wanted to kinda boost its visibility and try to ensure that the PR author knows that his diligence is appreciated and that the feature that he’s working on is valued, because it seems like a tough PR to review and like he’s put quite some effort into it over the course of a few months now. I want him to feel visible and appreciated as he keeps at it.
