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.

Lix is developed by a diverse group of users -- and accordingly is committed to providing a

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.

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.** <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.
