Also there's too many things called Nix.

There's the overall project, the language, and the primary interpretation. It's also why you'll sometimes see nixlang to refer to the language.

Thought was the norm using capitalized for language and lower case for the tooling. So Nix/nix, like AWK/awk and Go/go.

Full caps AWK feels like a relic from the screaming UNIX days, and golang for Go is incredibly common (and as far as I can tell, the proximate cause of the nixlang term)
