= 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.
|
|
|
|
Its current focus is on incremental builds for xref:go/usage.adoc[Go],
|
|
xref:rust/usage.adoc[Rust], and xref:ninja/usage.adoc[Meson/CMake-based C/C++
|
|
projects].
