[Nix-dev] What's the "perfect setup" for hacking on Nix?

[Marc Weber]

ctagsWrapped -> simple nix support (so that you can jump to definitions)

nix-instantiate --parse-only for syntax checking (vim-addon-nix on my
github page, which also supports kind of follow import path
implementation)

Nix is dynamic, so there is not that much you can do (except creating
some templates or read code).

Hacking on C++ => ask the communities
  * Emacs
  * Vim
  * Eclipse
  * Atom
  * IDEA
  * Netbeans
  * (100 others)
and judge yourself :)

Typically you also want kind of "open file by typing some chars of the
name" feature.
