Adds a relatively simple
flake.nixthat enables the following with nix (and NixOS):nix-shellin the root directory to get a development shell pre-installed with clang and llvm.nix buildto compilesimcinto a nix derivation.nix run . [options]in the root directory to run the compiled binary in the derivation.nix fmtto format github actions, docker, and nix files. I thought about including C/C++ formatters here but figured best left out for now.git-hooks, which will generate a.pre-commit-config.yamlso formatting can be checked when trying to commit to git.This can be used in flake-based NixOS configurations to include the
simcpackage in theoretically any nix installation. I have only tested this on my own x86_64 NixOS (Linux 6.18) machine, so not sure if the compilation may fail in either Windows (via WSL) or macOS.
