= Introduction
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.
Features:
* Solid, reusable, Nix daemon protocol core
* Batteries included
* Intercompatible with Nixpkgs and other, arbitrary, Nix expressions.
