Snix is more decoupled than the existing, monolithic Nix implementation.
|
|
|
|
In practice, we expect to gain several benefits from this, such as:
|
|
|
|
* Ability to use different builders
|
|
* Ability to use different store implementations
|
|
* No monopolisation of the implementation, allowing users to replace components
|
|
that they are unhappy with (up to and including the language evaluator)
|
|
* Less hidden intra-dependencies between tools due to explicit RPC/IPC
|
|
boundaries
|
|
|
|
In addition to many individual backend implementations, Builders and Store
|
|
backends also provide a gRPC server and clients, allowing to plug in your own
|
|
implementation.
