just realized that i can just do this in nushell:

def open-nix [file: path] {
    nix eval --json -f $file | from json
}

i previously generated shell scripts with nix itself with really cursed loop unrolls but i think nushell is the perfect solution for this. the result is really cool

absolutely! it's a really small language to learn, but finally gives you a shell/programming language with much more structure while still being a lightweight shell and not a full programming language
