Notably error reporting is atrocious, but an interactive debugger would be amazing too. Ie to set a breakpoint and hop into an eval at your breakpoint. Would help immensely.
Still i just can't get behind a dynamic typing for anything remotely complex.. which i would describe Nix as. I have been counting down the days for Nickel.. it's been a long wait.
