Extending Nx: Polyglot Superpowers
summary
Shows how to add real polyglot support to Nx by building a Go plugin: two generators (app and lib), a build executor that runs go build, and a graph processor that runs go list and calls addExplicitDependency with the originating file so Nx renders edges and explains why they exist. Generated projects gain affected checks, remote caching and DTE with no CI changes. Community plugins for Go, .NET (∼7,000 downloads) and Rust already implement this.
