 John Ericson | You can just do it recursively down the deriving path | 16:06:35 |
| John Ericson | It's funny I didn't realize this before, because in a way I did: I was always frustrated making dyn drv examples that the "name felt so predetermined' | 16:07:14 |
| John Ericson | Well, lol, it was exactly pre-determined! | 16:07:33 |
 Robert Hensing (roberth) | Nice. Don't be late because I nerd sniped you! | 16:08:00 |
| John Ericson | Based on this, I feel like both types of placeholders could look exactly like store paths, except for using a different hash character set to very subtly distinguish them | 16:08:25 |
| John Ericson | I might be a little worried about that confusing humans, hah, who just glance at it | 16:08:55 |
| John Ericson | But it would be great for code in Nixpkgs that wants to look for name parts and and the store dir | 16:09:29 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Canonical JSON looks kinda good. Canonical, sorted, no floats. Strings are bytes, so not technically JSON. RFC 8785 is complicated and does not allow non-Unicode bytes | 16:31:41 |
 emily | please don't use canonicalized JSON formats | 16:42:10 |
