Nix's very existence revolves around solving an insanely hard problem, that of reproducibility, it's the only project that actually gets it right. Reproducible monolith apps have _everything_ to do with Nix/NixOS Reproducible libraries have _everything_ to do with Nix/NixOS Reproducible functions adds a new vertical design space to Nix/NixOS, it's pretty huge in my books, given that monolith apps can be combined in only a certain amount of ways. Next came the reproducible libraries, which can be combined into even more ways. Now this new feature introduces a whole new level of mix-and-matchability. As for stealing from the community, this is not a zero sum game. I'd suggest otherwise, it promotes adoption of Nix/NixOS. There are sane development processes and software architecture principles there. Should a company choose to adopt developing their servers in this style it increases the Nix/NixOS community by one more company, it also saves them boat loads of firefighting, bugs, bad architecture, bloat and all sorts of nastiness down the line. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
