Interest in adding a Nix flake definition in this repo?

Firstly, thanks for this language server!

I have just starting using it successfully with Helix.

My setup is all Nix based, so I wrote a Nix flake to build and consume this language server in my config. It makes the setup very straightforward for anyone who has Nix (which is highly recommended 😉)

Is there any interest here in a PR to add the Nix flake to this repo? IMO better to have these things with the source, rather than separately as now. I would envisage contributing a wrapper script for gradle2nix to keep the gradle.lock file up to date when things change here. This would mean adding the three files from my Nix flake repo, and I would extend the flake.nix to have the wrapper script support, so minimal extra baggage for those with no interest in Nix.

Thoughts?

Hi @tesujimath , sorry I didn't respond sooner. I'm not very familiar with Nix but I know there are at least a few users using Nextflow on Nix. Please feel free to make a PR if you think it's the best way to integrate the language server with Nix. I'm happy to defer to your expertise in this matter, just know that if anyone comes along requesting changes to the Nix files, I will be tagging you 😄

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your reply. Since I submitted this it has been overtaken by events, and we actually switched our workflow to Redun which is working well for us.

So I won't be maintaining this flake, but hopefully it will still be useful to others.

Cheers,
Simon
