if it's been a while since you've checked out pitchfork.jdx.dev or hk.jdx.dev, give them another go. They've gone through a bunch of enhancements in recent weeks/months.

Yeah I think a different CLI was the right call. It all came together pretty easily not shoehorning this into mise

usage+claude (usage.jdx.dev) is truly insane. I can take any CLI and super-charge it with completions in an hour what would've taken me months before. (also a hint at my latest side-quest)

if you haven't seen it the new http backend might be useful for that use-case. It's designed for making it easier to integrate internally-built tarballs without needing a plugin.

mise is the obvious place I would like to use it but I know the community would love to see an effort like IndyGreg and now astral with portable pythons: github.com/astral-sh/py... If there was a similar effort for ruby it could benefit all the ruby version managers.

I haven't tried building portable rubies but there seems to have been nascent attempts people have had in the past for it but nothing seems to maintained. The homebrew one notably states in the readme it isn't intended for general use. It's a problem I don't see anyone working on.

is your precompiling specific to hatchbox? there's definitely a big appetite out there for general purpose prebuilt rubies!

I'd be an idiot if I gave out any kind of date here but I can definitely say this project has piqued my interest a lot lately. The way I'm handling parallel lints in hk I am not aware of anyone having done before.

$ jdx --help @jdx.dev · 20/02/2025
good news and bad news on the hk front. The good news is I have loads of ideas on parallelism that should improve linting performance in different situations even more. The bad news is it's pushed v1 out a bit more.

nix is has horrible DX. I wrote mise in part because I couldn't get nix to work after 2 attempts. I felt a DX-focused way to setup development environments was needed and 2 years in I think I was right.

doesn't that just result in things never getting updated? in mise I bump all of the dependencies on every release so it doesn't pollute the commit history. I still use renovate, but just so I can see if MV bumps fail the test suite—I never merge the PRs.
