About Event

Melbourne Compose is the monthly in-person meetup for functional programmers in Melbourne, every 3rd Thursday of the month in Carlton.

Our June meeting will be 6:00-8:00 pm Thurs 18th of June at our regular venue, Activity Room 2 at Kathleen Syme Center in Carlton. Arrive from 5:30 for chat and socialising, talks start start at 6:30pm. Please RSVP via Luma.

This evening Javier Candeira will be taking us through Homegit, a fully fledged dotfiles-centric nixos/home-manager pile of scripts.

Nix is a functional, declarative and practical language. It's also a package manager, and the core of the NixOS Linux distribution. Nix users can craft very pragmatic systems, especially anyone amenable to drive it like they stole it.

Homegit is a fully fledged dotfiles-centric nixos/home-manager pile of Nix scripts running my personal software projects, my local clones of friends' software projects, my NixOS laptop, and my rapidly growing fleet of hand-me-down Linux PCs and MacOS relics.

Nix & NixOS

Hope to see you there :)
