Home relative paths depend on the environment to be resolved. We have elected to do everything that depends on the environment, e.g. resolving SPATH expressions using NIX_PATH, at runtime, so tvix evaluation would continue to behave correctly even if we separated the compilation and execution phases more, e.g. via serializing bytecode. Then the value of HOME, NIX_PATH etc. could reasonably change in the time until execution, yielding wrong results if the resolution results were cached in the bytecode. We also take the opportunity to fix the broken path concatenation previously found in the compiler, fixing b/205. Another thing we could consider is emitting a warning for home relative path literals, as they are by nature relatively fragile. One sideeffect of this change is that home path resolution errors become catchable which is not the case in C++ Nix. This will need to be fixed up in a subsequent change.

Tvix
For more information about Tvix, contact one of the project owners. We are interested in people who would like to help us review designs, brainstorm and describe requirements that we may not yet have considered.
License structure
All code implemented for Tvix is licensed under the GPL-3.0, with the exception of the protocol buffer definitions used for communication between services which are available under a more permissive license (MIT).
The idea behind this structure is that any direct usage of our code (e.g. linking to it, embedding the evaluator, etc.) will fall under the terms of the GPL3, but users are free to implement their own components speaking these protocols under the terms of the MIT license.
