I could not agree with you more! I use nix daily, and every time I go to edit it a nix file a voice in the back of my head says, "you should really start that Haskell to Nix compiler you've been thinking about." [edit] ha! ju

Has anyone run this sort of thing on BigQuery? On the surface it seems like a cheaper option and couldn't be that hard to map SPARQL on top?
