I think the point is more that "to assign" is more commonly understood than "to bind." Can one say then you assign a value to a variable and you bind an expression to a variable. The second is said in nix repl help. Also binding functions vs assigning values? | 16:05:27 |
 toonn | You bind to identifiers rather than values. | 16:52:22 |
| toonn | 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 | But in Nix functions are just values. | 16:53:02 |

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 | I made a yt channel and am making recordings while going through all nix dev tutorials. | 17:46:58 |
