  • The Python Packages Overlay uses a recursive set, and "pythonPackages = python.pkgs;" instead of "pythonPackages = self.python.pkgs;" Doesn't that mean that if a later overlay further modifies the "python" key, then " pythonPackages = python.pkgs;" will still see the earlier version? About the dangers of "rec" in overlays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W85mF1zWA2o&t=681s
  • Overriding of Go packages is needed, because it's not obvious.
