I think the point is more that "to assign" is more commonly understood than "to bind." Worth noting that Rust uses bind for their let construct, instead of assign, which seems to get by fine | 16:58:39 |
 toonn | Sure, the reasoning is probably that Nix is more likely to be touched by non-programmers. | 17:11:11 |

| @stablejoy:matrix.org | the issue remains in the icat.nix | 06:34:00 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | is the lib supposed to stay throughout the tutorial? | 06:34:28 |

 Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Folks, I'd like to expose the derivations under doc/default.nix in the pkgs namespace. Are there reasons that I'm missing that they're not exposed there today? | 15:39:20 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I see that pkgs/top-level/release.nix is the entry point for doc/default.nix. Other than the default variable there, I don't see where nixpkgs is actually filled out. | 15:55:48 |
 infinisil | Philip Taron (UTC-8): That nixpkgs is set by Hydra :) | 16:51:18 |
| infinisil | I think I've seen some recent discussions about exposing doc/default.nix from pkgs, but I don't think there was a reason against not doing that | 16:52:08 |
| infinisil | Seems fine to me! | 16:52:12 |
| infinisil | fricklerhandwerk: (unrelated to the above): We created @NixOS/documentation-reviewers as (docs team - Valentin) to limit your notifications, but I guess we don't need this anymore, right? If so I can remove it | 16:55:57 |
| infinisil | Now opened https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/978 to remove the mention of documentation-reviewers | 17:07:37 |

I see that pkgs/top-level/release.nix is the entry point for doc/default.nix. Other than the default variable there, I don't see where nixpkgs is actually filled out. This is a thoroughly cursed code path, I also ran into it recently. I think there is also some passing happening in flake.nix | 17:30:42 |

Now opened https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/978 to remove the mention of documentation-reviewers There’s also something in the Nixpkgs contributing guide though? | 17:31:32 |
