With flakes it seems a lot easier to understand where all the parts are coming from. You give it git repo urls and it gives you a workable package. If you want to use a branch, or unstable, or whatever, it’s right there in the flake. Also, input and output are clearly marked.

It’s not doing anything new, really, but as a stand-alone unit it seems easier to wrap my head around.
