Research direction

Start by comparing the requested toolchains with the current Homebrew installations under /usr/local/Cellar and locating the repository's nix-darwin configuration entry points. Done means the Go tools, multiple Node and Python versions, Ruby with ruby-build, and Dart are installed and configured through nix-darwin, while Rust remains managed by rustup.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Install programming language toolchains currently installed via Homebrew:

Languages:

  • go + goimports + golangci-lint
  • node (multiple versions: 18, 22, latest)
  • python (multiple versions: 3.9, 3.10, 3.12, 3.13)
  • ruby + ruby-build
  • dart

These are currently in:

  • /usr/local/Cellar/

Note: Rust toolchain is already being managed via rustup in nix.
