Yeah, that perspective also makes sense to me. From my point of view, I kind of use Clojure as a "have live environment + source code" and was mapping that to how I also use NixOS on servers, which basically their shells are remote REPL environments, and my Nix code I deploy to them is the source code in a way.

But the perspective you put forward again also makes sense to me too, I don't think there is any right or wrong here :) Thanks for sharing it at least!
