Anyone who has contributed to #nixpkgs knows how messy the packages are organized. This was already discussed at #NixCon 2015 and I asked why we can't just put all packages in one directory and import them automatically. It was said that this is technically not possible.

I am very happy that 8 years later, a similar solution has been found. Here is the presentation about it: https://media.ccc.de/v/nixcon-2023-35713-not-all-packages-anymore-nix

Thanks to everyone involved! ✨
