# a nixos config
|
|
|
|
## mission statement
|
|
|
|
this config attempts to follow the [synaptic standard](https://github.com/llakala/synaptic-standard/), and is built in an effort to achieve **semantic colocation**.
|
|
|
|
ideally, our modules are categorised by the purpose they hope to fulfil, and contain all the information necessary to achieve that within their context.
|
|
|
|
this is in contrast to many configuration styles which may be structured in a way that is beholden to mechanical details (ie. programs, interfaces, module systems they use).
|
|
|
|
here, *we do not build our dreams of concrete*.
|
|
|
|
## mechanism
|
|
|
|
recursive imports and module aliasing bend the module system/s to our will.
|
|
|
|
this allows us to create freeform sets of modules which realise broad purposes while cross-cutting module system concerns, all with a single toplevel import point.
|
|
|
|
you can see [entry.nix](./entry.nix) and [util/create.nix](util/create.nix) for the explicit details of how this is done.
