Description
When updating the front page, there's possibly a chain of terms that might get added to it that won't allow for understanding if no definition is given.
Add definitions (links to Wikipedia, maybe?) to the following terms:
- Composable data
- Types
- Functions
- Files
- Unix process
- Nix values
- Nix expressions
- Language
- Building/deploying/distributing software
