Nice in what way? Do a grep on attrByPath in ./pkgs/build-support/builder-defs/builder-defs.nix and tell me that file wouldn't become more readable by getting rid of all those attrByPath calls :-) (Actually, most of them can also be eliminated by using default arguments...) -- Eelco Dolstra | http://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~dolstra/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
