I'm trying to package Elmer for use with NixOS, and could use some help from any experienced Nix users. My current attempt is located here. There is some junk left around in that file from my experimenting, but it's at least a start. There are also a few lines of error included in the comment here.
Any help is appreciated!

I've been thinking on and off about packaging up a few simple Python utilities I've written to stick up on Github for people to use if they want, but, every time I go to check out how one goes about managing dependencies and all that for a project, I run into a whole wall of options. Does anyone better versed in all of this have any recommendations for me?

While I've been teaching myself my first programming language (Python), I've been getting more into using the terminal as much as possible to build familiarity and get comfortable. This has opened my eyes to so many useful utilities and makes me curious as to what there is out there that I haven't heard of yet.
My favorites so far:
exa - A modern version of "ls"
youtube-dl - Download videos from youtube.com or other video platforms with various options
hledger - Plain text double-entry accounting software based on ledger written in Haskell
thefuck - App that corrects a spelling mistake in the previous command by typing "fuck"
spicetify-cli - Customizes the Spotify client with themes and extensions
spotifyd - Lightweight Spotify daemon
spotify-tui - Control Spotify in the terminal
neofetch - Launch tool that can display ASCII art or pictures and general system information
I'm on macOS but I'm almost certain all of these are cross-platform.
What are your favorite or "must-have" CLI packages?

Programming Languages that are Both Interpretable and Compilable?

I've been thinking about the feasibility of defining a language spec that can both be compiled and interpreted lately. I first thought about it while writing code in crystal, which, for the unfamiliar, is a compiled language based heavily off the syntax of an interpreted language (ruby).
Here are a couple reasons I find the idea interesting:
- It effectively neuters the interpreted/compiled language debates. Why just choose one, when both have such big upsides?
- You could develop a program in the interpreter with the same playfulness as you get in a shell, and then compile it into a speedy 'lil thing!
- It would be wonderful for metaprogramming! From my experience, languages usually define a little janked together syntax for compile-time execution. If the language had an interpreter for itself within the compiler, you could metaprogram and program in the exact same language.
I'm curious if any languages like this exist, or if you can think of more benefits.
Edit:
I just want to mention that my reference to 'feasibility' earlier is not born of disbelief - you can write a compiler or interpreter for any (to the best of my knowledge!) well defined formal grammar with enough effort. I suppose I left that word there to account for the fact that I might have unknown unknowns here.14 votes -
