idea: also expose diffs at varying levels of abstraction: at the .drv, the .nix (any others?). These different lenses/layers of differences often have value, especially if you can explore and switch between them in a smooth manner. Knowing how to juggle nix-diff, diffoscope, git diff, diff-closures is possible; a nice UX would both help make exploring differences more productive and serve as a good demonstration of Nix’s value proposition.
