Hi, Graham, I have a few questions.
Does Eelco's departure from Tweag have any impact on Nickel as a possible replacement for nix?
There are lots of fragmented attempts at making nix easier/more immediately valuable/lower barrier to entry. Some of these are personal projects, some are businesses. Some of these just make nix easier, and some attempt to put something in between nix and the user. I'm thinking about things like Cachix, Flox, and divnix (formerly devos). How do you see your work interacting with these?
One of my barriers to adoption at work has been ensuring maintenance continuity. That's always going to be the case for tools that aren't ubiquitous, but I worry with nix that teams without my assistance will revert to other tools they know better, even if I've invested a good bit of time in teaching them enough to keep things going. Do you seek to address that?
