Unsurprising#

As of today, this repository is exclusively to play around and think about a toy language with a goal close to Nix.

Parts#

Examples#

Examples are split into different use-cases. You can check the files in examples.

• core: contains definitions of builtins

• cur: cristal user repository

• machine: contains a crystal (flake) definition for a machine definition

• project: contains a crystal (flake) definition for a project

Ideas#

• Have a repl with autocompletion to make build steps. A way to test and rollback steps to ensure that it works without having to run and inspect the derivation multiple times.
