This is a nix shell for reproducible exercism in multiple languages. This is all the tooling you need:

{
  "apibaseurl": "https://api.exercism.io/v1",
  "token": "<YOUR-API-TOKEN>",
  "workspace": "<PATH-TO-THIS-REPO>"
}

then you can proceed to do exercism in your favorite (supported) languages, adding support for more is easy.
