2022-11-06manual: build action -> build taskValentin Gagarin
after discussing this with multiple people, I'm convinced that "build task" is more precise: a derivation is not an action, but inert until it is built. also it's easier to pronounce. proposal: use "build task" for the generic concept "description of how to derive new files from the contents of existing files". then it will be easier to distinguish what we mean by "derivation" (a specific data structure and Nix language value type) and "store derivation" (a serialisation of a derivation into a file in the Nix store).

Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of paths
2022-10-20manual: update options generation code to use default valuesPatrick Jackson
2022-10-19Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of pathsJohan Herland
Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a `nix repl` session. This is a thing that bit me while playing around with paths and antiquotation in `nix repl` while reading the Nix language tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language.

refactor rendering command documentation to markdown
2022-09-30bring back lost newlineValentin Gagarin
2022-09-30use more self-explanatory namesValentin Gagarin
2022-09-30move final template to the topValentin Gagarin
this allows readers to enter the code starting with what is visible from the outside, instead of working themselves up from purely technical details.
2022-09-30remove superfluous let-in pairValentin Gagarin
2022-09-30refactor showOptionsValentin Gagarin
it was quite a pain to manipulate strings just with `builtins`
2022-09-30refactor rendering command documentation to markdownValentin Gagarin
idea: - make document structure visible, like in a template - order functions by descending abstraction - avoid nested let bindings
2022-09-30use indented strings where appropriateValentin Gagarin

when using ccache, rebuild time has been measured 89% faster while not slowing the speed of cold builds
2022-09-18address review feedbackTravis A. Everett
Mainly: - Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will not quickly grow stale. - Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about "your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests. - Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the installer test section.

2022-09-09more precise variable typesValentin Gagarin
2022-09-08optimize performanceValentin Gagarin
remove loops and function calls, modify arrays in place this makes the whole thing harder to read, and probably only marginally faster.
