I see that FreeBSD is no longer stated as supported.
Is this because the nix tools themselves no longer work under FreeBSD or
because the packages have fallen into disrepair?

It's unclear to me what problem your proposal solves. If the source of
the issue is the package itself is paralleizing builds (i.e. rebar) then
how does making Nix more dataflow solve that?

As a bandaid, I have gotten around this in some ocaml packages by using

This was discussed a little bit in #nixos. The question is: currently

I want the same semantics as including a config as a string literal in a
