Thank Ryan. Last night I caved and gutted the a bunch of the documentation code out of <nixpkgs/nixos/docs/manual> to accomplish this same task, which runs miiiiiles faster. It has the added advantage of dumping descriptions and other info as well so I don’t have to use nixos-options with fzf (which was a little sluggish).
I do prefer writing scripts in Haskell though, Nix is great for packages but it can be so frustrating when you want to borrow a function thats floating around some .nix file’s “let” section.
