   What if… #NixOS used #Tcl instead of #Bash?

   I present you tcl-stdenv!

     @sandro the goal is not to remove shell from the dependency graph (it’s used in stdenv configure scripts anyways!), but to provide a better builder language with features such as structured data and less footguns

     @fgaz @nixos @tcl@a.gup.pe @tcltk @tcl@kbin.social @tcl@lemmy.world since shell is probably the smallest common nominator between all builds systems, I don't know where the fit for this would be since we could not remove a shell anyway. Maybe it would be useful to remove Python/Rust/Perl from deep down the dependency chain if shell is just not enough.

     @fgaz @nixos @tcl@a.gup.pe @tcltk @tcl@kbin.social @tcl@lemmy.world this would bring back the stallman vs ousterhout debate
