You skipped the "spend 3 hours figuring out why libgcc_s.so.1 won't link when trying to compile that one protobuf tool you need right now" step.

Seriously, I dread every time I have to compile C++ in NixOS and there's no existing derivation already.

Oh, and when the Omnisharp guys start requiring a new version of mono that won't build the same way for whatever reason, so you're stuck on old versions of your IDE plugins if you want C# support until someone else figure out what broke.
