//! `tvix-eval` implements the evaluation of the Nix programming language in
//! Tvix.
//!
//! It is designed to allow users to use Nix as a versatile language for
//! different use-cases.
//!
//! This module exports the high-level functions and types needed for evaluating
//! Nix code and interacting with the language's data structures.
//!
//! Nix has several language features that make use of impurities (such as
//! reading from the NIX_PATH environment variable, or interacting with files).
//! These features are optional and the API of this crate exposes functionality
//! for controlling how they work.
