As there is no isolation and all of these shells are still able to wipe all of your data we should probably not call them "isolated". They are probably better described as `declarative` as that is what is happening here.

I think this is an improvement but it still can be improved (in later PRs). Nobody uses Nix because it is declarative, but because there is an important benefit of "declarativness". To newcomers this benefit might not be obvious and might be even misunderstood as "unneeded complexity". I think it would be much better to just talk in terms of benefits of features and avoid being misunderstood. But right now I don't have a better idea. @andir maybe you have some. |
