This is a persistent, structurally sharing data structure which is more efficient in some of our use-cases. I have verified the efficiency improvement using `hyperfine` repeatedly over expressions on nixpkgs. Lists are not the most performance-critical structure in Nix (that would be attribute sets), but we can already see a small (~5-10%) improvement. Note that there are a handful of cases where we still go via `Vec` that need to be fixed, most notable for `builtins.sort` which can not currently be implemented directly using `im::Vector` because of a restrictive type bound.

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.
Rust projects
Some parts of Tvix are written in Rust. To simplify the dependency
management on the Nix side of these builds, we use crate2nix in a
single Rust workspace in //tvix to maintain the Nix build
configuration.
When making changes to Cargo dependency configuration in any of the
Rust projects under //tvix, be sure to run
mg run //tvix:crate2nixGenerate -- in //tvix itself and commit the changes
to the generated Cargo.nix file.
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.
