~~This [[~~:~~Category:Discussion|discussion]] article covers the syntax, semantics, typing, compilation, tooling~~ and ~~libraries~~ of ~~the Nix Expression Language~~.

The Nix language is designed for conveniently creating and composing <i>derivations</i> – precise descriptions of how contents of existing files are used to derive new files.

~~== Learning~~ the Nix language ==

{{Note|Check the [https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/ Nix Reference Manual on the Nix Language] for up-to-date documentation and [https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language Nix language basics] for a gentle introduction.}}

The .nix files are written in the Nix language. While being a NixOS user doesn't demand complete mastery of Nix, customizing code snippets is necessary.

~~The [manual https~~:~~//nixos.org/nix/manual/#ch~~-~~expression~~-~~language~~] ~~provides a reference of the~~ Nix ~~language.~~
