Learn Go and NixOS deployments with large language models
Hello, 世界!
When used sensibly, language models can be tutors, too. For meetup #60 on Tuesday May 26, 2026 19:00 CET we are really happy to have Maxime dive into Nix/NixOS with the help of language models.
Nix is a functional package manager and its immutable traits enable robust, reproducable deployments of Go (and other) projects. The high level goals of Nix/NixOS are similar to other immutable Linux distributions, like Silverblue or Bazzite.
Becoming familiar with the Nix configuration language can be a challenge, but one that a well instructed tutor may help with.

Why reproducible and immutable deployments play a role? Justin Garrison says:
It’s 2026, if you’re not using something immutable (or at least reproducable) you’re doing more maintenance work than you should. [blog post recapping talk from Southern California Linux Expo 23x], 03/2026, PASADENA, CA
