maybe use 'attribute set' rather than just 'set' in that description? ('set' may invoke different expectations to people not familiar with nix)

cool! the 'bind set arguments' (bottom-right) can't decide between 'set' or 'args' it seems?

The inspiration was the nixcademy cheat sheet.
https://nixcademy.com/cheatsheet.html

I changed the bind arguments variable to args because it's contextually different. Also a lot of examples I've seen usually call that variable args or inputs in the case of flakes.

Wow thanks for all the feedback everyone. For reference, we are trying to emulate something similar to the nixcademy cheat sheet (https://nixcademy.com/cheatsheet.html). This one being just for the nix language.

The design goals I am working with are

• printable (so we can hand them out at cons)
• start with just the nix language (no nix commands for now)
• ideally 1 page
• cover enough basics that users can get going (i.e. it's not comprehensive)

We could go to 2 pages but ideally it would be 1 for the nix language and 1 for nix commands.
Built-ins would be a great addition. Trying to figure out how to make it all fit.
Creating this in latex. The default font size, which you all see, is 10pt. I could try 9pt... would need to do some test prints to see if it would look okay.
