Have you seen those ._. little faces ?

Haha, yes. In the flake-aspects lib, ._ is shorthand for .provides.

Aspects form a nested tree structure via .provides, you can have foo._.bar._.baz which is short for foo.provides.bar.provides.baz.

This is in contrast to normal flake.modules.<class>.<name> which are flat and people tend to organize their modules with special / separated names like: flake.modules.nixos."foo/bar".

In den this can be den.aspects.foo._.bar, the foo aspect provides the bar aspect.

Note

Experimental angle-brackets FEATURE #38 inspired by fzakaria's post
Allows writing <foo/bar/baz> instead of den.aspects.foo.provides.bar.provides.baz or even den.aspects.foo._.bar._.baz, at least for read access of very nested trees.
