@SuperSandro2000 Thanks. I'm going to leave this open because BLAKE3 is much faster than BLAKE2 and SHA.

This could be helpful for building roc programs.

Roc dependencies are pinned by a URL and a BLAKE3 hash. If it were possible to pass a BLAKE3 hash to fetchurl, then we could probably build Roc applications without needing a nix-code-generation step (like node2nix or others).

I think this is also good for Guix store layer compat
