Exploring the Dendritic pattern

I've been looking more into the dendritic pattern for Nix code.

I understood the concept, but wasn't sure how to implement it and refactor my existing configuration.

I've recently bought a pre-owned computer that I'm going to be adding to my homelab, and this seemed like an opportunity to experiment with the pattern in a new environment.

What I have is in this repository.

Each file is its own Nix module, including the NixOS configurations and packages such as Vim and tmux.

This was a great experiment, and I'm going to continue looking into how to implement this in my existing Nix configuration.

Was this interesting?
