Let me quote a thing starting at 26:49:
> The performance improvements distri provides, definitely some of them can apply to Nix. I think there are some low hanging fruit in Nix.
The other isuess do reflect some persistent rhetorical issues we've had with explaining Nix:
> There was little differentiation with Nix vs NixOS. (Some of his philosophical difference could be resolved by just using Nix.)
> There was no recognition that the "nix language part of Nix" is cleanly layered away from the layers that actually do the work of running jobs and moving files around, and can be replaced like Guix does.
So I do want our materials to highlight this so experimenters realize Nix is less of an all-in proposition than it sounds (if one is already willing to do the extra work of blazing their own trail).
