Part 0 of building a tetris game in Scala Native with GTK.

This covers the basics of setting up a nix development environment for scala native.

Hi there! Sharing a little example project I put together a while back that builds native binaries from Scala code using sbt, graalvm, and nix.

It's dead simple and merely glues together the different technologies involved. But maybe a nix-curious Scala developer stumbling on this community will find it interesting as a template to copy. It relies on https://github.com/zaninime/sbt-derivation, which has worked well in my very limited usage of it.

Could be very helpful at demonstrating how scala is a superpower you don’t have to spend years of ninja training to begin to access.
