Tweag + Nix dev update #15

// TODO: Insert some catchy introduction sentence linking to the previous update

Nix fuzzing

@pamplemousse kept working on the fuzzing of the Nix evaluator. You can read more about it here, but the gist of it is that we’re slowly approaching the point where we can run some full-scale fuzzing sessions.

Nickel

  • Thanks to the intense work of @yannham and @garbas, the website is (at last) live: http://www.nickel-lang.org/ . Go check it out and play with the online repl. And enjoy the shiny new logo.

  • As part of this, @yannham found a small bug in the lexer, which turned out to have a rather complex fix because of a bug in the underlying lexing library (#363)

  • @ravendii and @yannham intensively discussed the design of the record overriding (#330).

Misc

And that’s all, folks
