while this may eventually introduce ugly diffs, the table will now
render readably on the terminal (e.g. for `man nix` or `nix --help`)
without further intervention.

@ -24,14 +24,14 @@ Usage of terms is, for historic reasons, not entirely consistent within the Nix
The following translation table points out similarities and equivalent terms, to help clarify their meaning and inform consistent use in the future.
generic build system | Nix | [Bazel][bazel] | [Build Systems à la Carte][bsalc] | programming language
-- | -- | -- | -- | --
data (build input, build result) | store object | [artifact][bazel-artifact] | value | value
build instructions | builder | ([depends on action type][bazel-actions]) | function | function
build task | derivation | [action][bazel-action] | `Task` | [thunk][thunk]
build plan | derivation graph | [action graph][bazel-action-graph], [build graph][bazel-build-graph] | `Tasks` | [call graph][call-graph]

All of these systems share features of [declarative programming][declarative-programming] languages, a key insight first put forward by Eelco Dolstra et al. in [Imposing a Memory Management Discipline on Software Deployment][immdsd] (2004), elaborated in his PhD thesis [The Purely Functional Software Deployment Model][phd-thesis] (2006), and further refined by Andrey Mokhov et al. in [Build Systems à la Carte][bsalc] (2018).
