In a good amount of time I tried to install zig on my NixOS system and totally immerse myself in this good language. The only solid way was to use
zig-overlay, but the problem was running zig only once or in anix-shell, which was not suitable for my wants. Also after cleanup you need to recompile ~300MB to run zig, which takes some time.Fortunately, I stumbled upon docs in
flake.nixfile and decided to make installing nightly zig as a package easier for others by adding this block in the README.What changed in the README:
