We have been experimenting with support for impure builders and have some prototypes, we’re excited to showcase these soon. These are of course just prototypes at this stage and we cannot commit to any guarantees about them being supported ( I hope they do though ).
As for integration with lang2nix
tools like dream2nix
, floco
, node2nix
, etc - it is currently possible to use these with flox
but we currently lack “proper integration”. We’re working on a cleaner interface for using “regular” nix
flakes and expressions with flox
which will hopefully make this usage easier. For now I do have an example of using floco
( a lang2nix
tool ) with flox
