alt Hacker News> they haven't yet released a version where they allow specifying the Go toolchain version
Devenv's maintainers are friendly and responsive when it comes to contributions from downstream, and like 90% of the devenv repo is plain ol' Nix code written in idioms that are common in the community.
I mention it because my team has hit some papercuts as well, but I've been really happy with how easy it's proven to address them. :)
I agree, the fix is in the main branch, they just haven't released it yet. It's just that the existing released versions just don't allow customizing the Go version because of some hardcoded assumptions in the Nix code. So I'll wait for the released version. I did say these are papercuts, not showstoppers ;-)
