In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`. These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they hide the platforms. Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059 There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it doesn't make sense. ``` fd --type f "\.nix" | xargs sd --fixed-strings "stdenv.is" "stdenv.hostPlatform.is" fd --type f "\.nix" | xargs sd --fixed-strings "stdenv'.is" "stdenv'.hostPlatform.is" fd --type f "\.nix" | xargs sd --fixed-strings "clangStdenv.is" "clangStdenv.hostPlatform.is" fd --type f "\.nix" | xargs sd --fixed-strings "gccStdenv.is" "gccStdenv.hostPlatform.is" fd --type f "\.nix" | xargs sd --fixed-strings "stdenvNoCC.is" "stdenvNoCC.hostPlatform.is" fd --type f "\.nix" | xargs sd --fixed-strings "inherit (stdenv) is" "inherit (stdenv.hostPlatform) is" fd --type f "\.nix" | xargs sd --fixed-strings "buildStdenv.is" "buildStdenv.hostPlatform.is" fd --type f "\.nix" | xargs sd --fixed-strings "effectiveStdenv.is" "effectiveStdenv.hostPlatform.is" fd --type f "\.nix" | xargs sd --fixed-strings "originalStdenv.is" "originalStdenv.hostPlatform.is" ``` |

To update Elm:
Modify revision in ./update.sh and run it
Notes about the build process:
The elm binary embeds a piece of pre-compiled elm code, used by 'elm reactor'. This means that the build process for 'elm' effectively executes 'elm make'. that in turn expects to retrieve the elm dependencies of that code (elm/core, etc.) from package.elm-lang.org, as well as a cached bit of metadata (versions.dat).
The makeDotElm function lets us retrieve these dependencies in the standard nix way. we have to copy them in (rather than symlink) and make them writable because the elm compiler writes other .dat files alongside the source code. versions.dat was produced during an impure build of this same code; the build complains that it can't update this cache, but continues past that warning.
Finally, we set ELM_HOME to point to these pre-fetched artifacts so that the default of ~/.elm isn't used.
