What is statix?
Statix is a linter and fixer for the Nix programming language that identifies antipatterns and provides automated corrections. It helps developers write cleaner, more idiomatic Nix code by highlighting issues like unnecessary assignments or legacy syntax. The tool works purely on the AST level without evaluating Nix code, making it fast and reliable.
Nix developers and infrastructure engineers who write or maintain Nix expressions and want to improve code quality and consistency.
Statix offers a dedicated, fast linter for Nix with automated fixes, unlike general-purpose linters that may not understand Nix-specific patterns. Its integration with `.gitignore` and configurable lint rules make it practical for real-world projects.
