+# nix builders
+
+The kookienomicon is a collection of projects, each with their own
+dependencies, and build setups.  Nix and Lorri are used extentsively
+to facilitate switching between build tools and dependency scopes.
+
+The root of the repository adds a new key to the `NIX_PATH`
+environment variable, which can then be used to look-up development
+builders.
+
+
+## How to use
+
+There are default builders for common programming language setups
+(such as Rust).
+
+```nix
+
+```
