 MangoIV | adding diverging syntactic sugar that doesn't even align well with the evaluation model, is not backwards compatible and requires enabling a flag sounds like an awesome footgun | 14:59:33 |

adding diverging syntactic sugar that doesn't even align well with the evaluation model, is not backwards compatible and requires enabling a flag sounds like an awesome footgun At some point people have to try new things out. nixpkgs requires nix >=2.18(2023). If people want to use new things in their own repos that's one thing. Nixpkgs will be conservative either way. What better way to try out new syntax sugar in a fork and see if it sticks? | 15:03:01 |

| MangoIV | yeah I'm all for trying things out, but the kind of "progress" this brings is questionable, imo | 15:04:08 |
