See [this](https://lean-lang.org/functional_programming_in_lean/monads/io.html) for more information.
Furthermore, you may wonder how this `suntheme` could possibly be used on a
_purely functional_ Linux distribution, like NixOS. Wouldn't mutating the
system colorscheme be pathologically changing the system state? This is simple
as well. We simply utilize the NixOS specialisations feature to generate _two
copies_ of every single generation, one in dark and one in light theme, and
then _swap out the entire system_. Therefore no state is mutated and the user
simply gets swapped onto a specialized generation of NixOS with their desired
colorscheme. Behold: the genius of purely functional programming.
Work is ongoing to create a turnkey drop-in NixOS module that interfaces with
Stylix to automatically create the system color activation scripts and expose
them to `suntheme`.
## Hacking on suntheme
It's trivial to get started with suntheme development thanks to [Nix](https://nixos.org/), the purely functional package manager.
