Eh, I think it's that with Nixlang one can write foo.bar = true; as a shorthand for foo = { bar = true; }; which makes deeply-nested options much easier

Eh, I think it's that with Nixlang one can write
foo.bar = true;
as a shorthand for
foo = { bar = true; };
which makes deeply-nested options much easier to write out. In general Nix looks a lot more like a config file to me.
- Pay08 8mo agoI've never seen more than one level of nesting in a piece of Guix code, but that comes with the caveat that Guix is quite happy to extract fields that would perhaps be nested with other languages into their own top-level fields, like the build-system and arguments fields being separate in package definitions.
