Packages, Not Programs

&gt; <i>packages, not programs</i><p>Let me fix that for you: <i>packages, and programs</i><p>You put all the logic in a library.<p>You reference the library in a very small program.<p>The main() functions inside those small programs are usually one or two screens worth of lines.<p>&gt; <i>Packages are a force multiplier</i><p>With NixOS, programs are packages.

This seems silly, a Hello World package benefits no one. Programmers make the conscious decision about whether they&#x27;re developing a program or a library and not everything is suited to a library. Why would a game developer want to allow you to import their game as a package?

I get the point about packages, but creating a separate package to host the tests for another package sounds a bit silly to me.
