Comment on Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix

Comments

So, how ready is this for general use? Is there anything still missing in the implementation?

Tvix developer here; correctness is still not guaranteed, there's nothing to use here except if you already understand well Nix concepts to pick parts and build stuff on the top of it and accept the inherent instability :).

builtins.fetchTarball is not there, among others, and from watching Matrix I think there are still some things in nixpkgs that eval slightly differently in tvix.

It feels like things are heating up, and "soon" is on the horizon.
