Incredibly thorough overview, thanks! As someone in the midst of a nix flake cross-compilation project, it's been a bit of a love/hate thing. When I figure out how to say what I'm trying to say and it works, it's beautiful, but coming to that point is often difficult, and I find myself reading through Nix code way more than documentation. I'm hoping this continues to improve, because the underlying idea is so valuable, better than any alternative. Just not always sold on the implementation.
