Weepin

A robust declarative (hjson)/interactive (weepin add) nix pinning system akin to niv/npins.

Important

No code is written yet. Look at functional spec

Will it be possible to make weepin able to lazily load flakes? Make a weepin-loader.

TODO:

Finish functional spec and technical spec first draft
Consider weepin issue
weepin version which lists the weepin version with embedded loader and lockfile version
Move the generated structure of weepin to functional
Change weepin.json5 name to more generic name - manifest
Think about channels generated structure
Talk with nobbz about why he strongly believes inputs for nix only
Refine the name inference spec
Decide between hjson and nix, make a draft, ask people
Add a definition for the weepin/ folder
Redesign syntax. : can be used for resolvables and it would already constitute a pinned version!
Get rid of resolvable template tags, they are added complexity for no reason at all, and not very practical
Add magic template tags, that is weepin add 'https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.3/ghc-8.4.3-i386-deb8-linux.tar.xz' -t version 8.4.3 should automatically make it a tag with <version>
Create hjson2nix
(During impl) List differences and similarities between niv and npins (in terms of interface as well!!!) Go back to my message on ghostty discord and list these in functional.md
Add CONTRIBUTING.md with my conventions (for example not using pragma once)
Impl that shit:
- ?
Create a lua lib/module/stuff?
Add nix shell and default for Nix2
