This is only a proof-of-concept and is not yet useful.

Example configuration

? <nixspace ?nixspace> $nixspace [

  ? <instantiate "let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}; in pkgs.hello" { } ?drv> [
    ? <realise $drv ?outputs> [ ]
  ]

  ? <eval "3 * 4" {} _> []
  ? <eval "builtins.getEnv \"PATH\"" {impure: ""} _> []

  ? ?any [
    $log ! <log "-" { nix: $any }>
  ]

  $config [
    <require-service <daemon nix_actor>>
    ? <service-object <daemon nix_actor> ?cap> [
      $cap {
        dataspace: $nixspace
      }
    ]
    <daemon nix_actor {
      argv: "/usr/local/nix_actor"
      protocol: application/syndicate
    }>
