What is nixd?
nixd is a language server for the Nix programming language, providing features like code completion, goto definition, and documentation for Nix expressions and configurations. It solves the problem of limited editor support for Nix by offering deep integration with the Nix ecosystem, including nixpkgs options and packages.
