I like your Atoms idea and will follow along

IMO 80% of Nix's shortcomings are due to 20 years worth of tech debt that we're all very conscious of

By 2030 all the rust rewrites and new tooling will have finally saved us from it

Unless it becomes a typed language with clearer syntax around what is what, it’s painful at the scale of nixpkgs and nix without nixpkgs just isn’t all that useful.

https://nickel-lang.org/ is a configuration language similar to a typed Nix

I'm hopeful something like this could get adopted in future Nix tooling
