incorporates insights from preliminary usability studies, observing newcomers and people with first experience using Nix: - software developers care about declarative environments - want to write a file to pass around - want to wrap projects in their language of choice with Nix - this is usally already almost impossibly hard to pull off without prior knowledge of Nix expression language or specifics of how the language ecosystem is adapted into `nixpkgs` - Nix expression language appears scary, but is required to do achieve that - people do not actually read, but only skim the approach here is to gently introduce Nix concepts, and talk about language specifics much later, when people hopefully feel confident enough to get their hands dirty with the details, breakages, and confusion.
