Support Custom Dev Environments
There is no one-size fits all approach for configuring your development environment. Depending on what you are building, your dependencies, build tools, and other related settings will vary. We want to better support you (or your team’s) build environment and persist them across sessions.

We have finished our initial support for custom dev environments using Nix. Please give us your feedback on what further extensibility options you'd like to see in the future.

Hi everyone - our early implementation of extensibility via Nix is now available. Please try it out. The documentation is here: https://developers.google.com/idx/guides/customize-idx-env

Marian - what about the devcontainer spec do you find appealing? Have you explored custom environments defined using Nix?

I would like it to be compatible with the .devcontainer spec
