It’s in my queue that’s way too long. Sorry for the unbounded delay. I’ll take care of it later today.

This is an interesting idea. Never mind the particular implementation. It seems like one could hack together some simple pre- or post-processing to allow for linking to code locations across source type boundaries in rendered documentation.

@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric note that an alternative approach is literate programming, e.g. org-mode + babel. in org-mode you can easily link to other notes (or specific sections of notes). 10:48:18

is anyone actively working on documenting the module system? I know about existing efforts, and i vaguely remember proofconstruction working on this, but what's the current status?

i'd be interested in taking on some of this work.

infinisil dumped notes and git commits https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/645 from a previous summer of nix presentation, which i've massaged into something tutorial-like https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/730. i've just completed a big move and started a new gig, so very scattered (more than usual for me!) currently, but somewhere i have notes towards a much shorter introduction (silvan's presentation became like 1200 lines of tutorial, way too big for a single page)
