to clusters of critical infrastructure. With this in mind, the Lix team has been working to
provide a collection of necessary improvements over CppNix:

- **Built for a community, not for a corporation.** <br>
Lix is built by a team of open-source volunteers -- and exists to provide a alternative to the
commercial interests that have long plagued both upstream CppNix and corporate-authored forks.
We're proud to stand by our open [conflict of interest statements](/team#conflict-of-interest-statements),
and proud to listen to community voices on issues of sponsorship, direction, and moderation.
- **A safe community for developers of all backgrounds.**
- **A safe community for developers of all backgrounds.** <br>
Lix is developed by a diverse group of users -- and accordingly is committed to providing a
space that's safe for users and developers typically underrepresented in technical projects.
We take moderation seriously, and are committed to preventing bad actors from driving out
marginalized groups.

Recent versions of the CppNix project have introduced significant regressions -- so much so
that the upstream [Nixpkgs](https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs) team has opted to remain several
versions behind. Lix is forked from the last truly-stable version of CppNix -- but has both
introduced new features and backported a number of features from newer versions without
sacrificing correctness.

- **A more modern implementation of Nix.** <br>
Lix is designed for evolution of its codebase. Lix already uses the more modern
[meson build system](https://mesonbuild.com/), which improves developer usability and decreases build times.
Plans include a gradual, piecewise introduction of the memory-safe [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/)
programming language -- to both supplement and replace sections of the current C++ codebase.
- **A language with room to grow.**
- **A language with room to grow.** <br>
Unlike upstream Nix, Lix intends to be an evolving language -- a robust language versioning
system will allow the language to grow and evolve without sacrificing backwards-compatibility or correctness.
And room to grow means room for **usability and ergonomics improvements** -- both in the langauge and in
tooling.

If so, your configuration option will override the Lix module. You'll want to remove it, first --
or, if you're feeling savvy, point it to the provided Lix package.
