That’s a pity. IMO the lack of static typing is one of the biggest flaws of the language, and it persistently slows me down.

pure flake nix with nixos modules is strongly statically typed.

in this case typing is evaluation. so tvix promises doing typing faster.

I guess it does depend on what you consider evaluation-time to be e.g. “Haskell is a dynamically-typed, interpreted language.”[1]
