@freakazoid There are a number of significant differences in philosophy, is my understanding, and merging two existing communities is something that usually does not go well
@freakazoid (The broader community definitely is not the problem here, the issue in NixOS governance is highly concentrated in a few people)
@joepie91 @freakazoid
interesting.
what are the differences then?
my naive understanding was it's mainly guile scheme vs. nix lang but that it would conceptually be the same. is it not?
@serapath @freakazoid The core concept is the same, but there are different ways to deal with rebuilds (grafting vs. not), different packaging policies, and so on - just a different community with different conventions and views basically.
Not inherently worse or anything, just different :)
@joepie91 @freakazoid
interesting. havent checked the details.
