Yeah, that would be dope. You're also right that nothing is ready for writing Nix well, though ChatGPT-4 can do some work in basic configuration (3.5 really can't). It may also be worth considering how a surprising amount of NixOS content and infrastructure is really bash-driven. Perhaps nixlang is a metalanguage computing over quite a bit of bash object-language tooling. I think ChatGPT does have something to collaboratively contribute to many aspects of using nix, but I do think most of the assistance is limitingly generic. I still think the pairing is valuable even if ChatGPT doesn't work on any of the nix portions of it, though I'm not convinced it couldn't be prompted not to construct or at least assist in constructing with supervision many worthy Xonsh-related nix environments.
