Which programming languages are supported by IES-Flox?

The environment includes first-class support for Clojure (both JVM and Babashka), Julia 1.11, and Python 3.12.

What is the main purpose of the IES-Flox skill?

It provides a pre-configured, multi-language development environment focused on data scripting, technical computing, and media processing using the Flox package manager.

Can I use IES-Flox for media editing?

Yes, it includes FFmpeg 7.1 and provides specialized Babashka/Julia integration patterns for high-performance video and audio transformation pipelines.

How does the Gay.jl/Gay.bb integration work?

It provides deterministic coloring based on a shared seed (GAY_SEED), allowing for consistent visual identification of packages and processes across different language runtimes like Clojure and Julia.

Is it compatible with other Flox environments?

Yes, it is specifically designed to interoperate and interleave with the 'effective-topos' environment to extend its capabilities to systems-level programming.
