Nix derivations by hand, without guessing

[v217]

Hi, Thank you for the article!

• CA-Dervivations

In the thesis by Eelco Dolstra content addressed derivations are praised as being a lot simpler (conceptually at least).
Please write an article about CA-derivations.

• Blake3 hash

Also since blake3 hashes are now available as experimental feature and the default in snix.dev an explanation of CA-Derivations using the blake3 hash would be great, since the blake3 hash has the advantage of progressive verification.

Thanks!

I would enjoy reading an article about content addressable derivations. I am not a Nix person and don't know anything about it other than my weird little adventure.
