I've run the idea of `builtins.JsonSchemaValidate` with a few people including elco & radvendii. I think the general stance is: if that doesn't entail huge deps for `nix`, then hell...

x-posting from matrix discussion, since I started breeding over this yesterday: > I think there is a wide open niche for lightweight merge semantics. The module system is too heavy,...

I _might_ have cracked the classical array merge problematic in a very lightweight way that can work with arbitrary left-hand-side data structures (eg. coming from json or hcl). https://gist.github.com/blaggacao/050483417bcab6a5cd126152b0187314

Once that's complete, do you plan on implementing a `makesd` + frontend fully integrated nix based CI? Put the evaluation cache on a fuseFS and boom - expensive evaluation cost...
