Nix as a Static Site Generator for My Blog (only mildly cursed!)
Patryk Wychowaniec
Since a Nix derivation can be anything, from a text file up to a directory tree, then what's stopping us from implementing a static site generator using Nix? Certainly not the police!
I've been using Nix as a generator for https://pwy.io (source code) for almost two years now - in this talk I'd like to show you how it works, go through pros and cons, and hopefully inspire you to see Nix as more than "this funny language used in nixpkgs".
