 infinisil | I really like John Ericson's suggestions for what Nix should become here: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/136#discussion_r1246035453 | 18:29:15 |
 John Ericson | :) | 18:29:50 |
| John Ericson | I get that flakes have driven a lot of new usage, but that is just because everything else was so unpolished | 18:30:11 |
| John Ericson | the bar was so low | 18:30:15 |
| John Ericson | Flakes are a "fast food" that kinda tastes good to start but ultimately fails to truly solve any problems | 18:30:45 |
| John Ericson | We have to believe the choices are not just "Flakes" or "unpolished unusuable to non-experts" | 18:31:32 |

This would also set a precedent that the docs team will document whatever ill-designed and barely-documented feature gets merged into Nix I agree with most of your other points, but this precedent has definitely already been set by stable nix+nixpkgs, at least the part about us having to ex post document barely-documented stuff | 18:32:23 |
