|
|
|
Zilch is an experimental testbed for implementing reproducible compilation
|
|
|
|
|
technologies, based on Nix, but steering clear of most of the parts of Nix
|
|
|
|
|
built on top of the derivation concept.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like Guix, it is built on top of Scheme. However, unlike Guix, it does not
|
|
|
|
|
require a second, incompatible Nix-like daemon to be installed.

|
|
* Batteries included
|
|
|
|
|
* Intercompatible with Nixpkgs and other, arbitrary, Nix expressions.
