@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn You bind to identifiers rather than values. 16:52:22
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn In most languages functions aren't first-class values so a different term is useful to distinguish what you do with them. 16:52:54
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn But in Nix functions are just values. 16:53:02

In reply to@toonn:matrix.org
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

@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Sure, the reasoning is probably that Nix is more likely to be touched by non-programmers. 17:11:11
