Thanks, I'll try it out. I think this might be very useful in some of the other repositories (where there are many more non-bazel dependencies). Would also be good to add a job to the CI to test that it works. |

Super long build time since nix builds Bazel from scratch (the wrapper causes the hash to change triggering a rebuild). I think there might be a way around it (defining a new Bazel, opposed to modifying an old one), but this would also go away with a nix cache. The validity of the definition (nix check flake) only takes a few seconds though |

I mentioned nix on discord- but this is the flake I've been using. Note the magic of nix is that you could pin nixpkgs to a release or commit and running
nix developon any computer will give, verifiably, the same environment and same binaries.Obviously no pressure to merge this in. I just think it's nice to have the option.
