 ash | and is that supposed to be a step towards fixing flakes or removing them? | 03:23:24 |
| ash | because i don't care about fixing them | 03:23:29 |
 David Arnold | In reply to @kity:kity.wtf
because i don't care about fixing them You said that already. | 03:23:40 |
| David Arnold | BUt it's not very prone to consensus, I guess. | 03:23:51 |

and is that supposed to be a step towards fixing flakes or removing them? fixing inputs. removing output contracts. | 03:24:26 |
| ash | what consensus? nobody agrees on what flakes should be, there was no consensus for letting them into nix in the first place | 03:24:39 |
| ash | and now everyone is relying on them | 03:24:45 |
| ash | i don't know or care what input or output contracts are :/ | 03:25:04 |
| David Arnold | thats indeed very intricate policits of playing consensus | 03:25:15 |

i don't know or care what input or output contracts are :/ only output contracts | 03:25:30 |
| David Arnold | like typed outputs | 03:25:34 |

thats indeed very intricate policits of playing consensus so they snuck in because eelco is the founder and primary maintainer of nix, and now we have to bikeshed all over to get them out? | 03:26:01 |
| ash | it's embarrassing, honestly | 03:26:12 |
| David Arnold | The real problem is that there are not more elcos. | 03:26:31 |
| David Arnold | And I don't thnk there is any glass ceiling involved. | 03:26:40 |
| David Arnold | It might be a concotion of C++ code base and [I don't know]... | 03:27:11 |
| David Arnold | A good think would be to split out the language interpretaer from the CLI | 03:27:38 |
| David Arnold | (for exmaple) | 03:27:42 |
| David Arnold | * A good think would be to split out the language interpreter from the CLI | 03:27:49 |
| David Arnold | make the holthing a little more pluggable | 03:27:55 |
| David Arnold | * make the whole thing a little more pluggable | 03:28:06 |
| ash | yes, sure, that's a great idea | 03:28:08 |
| David Arnold | ipmlement the language interpreter in rust? | 03:28:25 |
| David Arnold | or haskell? | 03:28:28 |
| ash | everyone's full of ideas | 03:28:29 |
| David Arnold | to get a few more eyes on deck | 03:28:33 |
| ash | there's already a language interpreter in haskell and there was supposed to be one in rust | 03:28:53 |
| David Arnold | It's just something we could do right now | 03:28:56 |
| David Arnold | And gather consensus, probably | 03:29:12 |
