maralorn	During the evaluation of a nix expression creating a derivation is also an effectful operation, because it writes the derivation to the nix store. It is in the end a primitive builtin function which creates the derivation and returns an object describing it (e.g. containing it's hashes) which then can be used in further calculations in the nix language.	21:15:09
maralorn	That all is independent and separate of the execution of the build described in the derivation.	21:16:08
