## Comparison to [nix-prefetch](https://github.com/msteen/nix-prefetch)
- `nurl` infers the fetcher from the URL. For `nix-prefetch`, you need to pick the fetcher and supply the arguments manually.
- `nix-prefetch` relies FOD which is slow, `nurl` tries to use alternatives when possible.
- `nix-prefetch` supports arbitrary expressions (planned for `nurl`) and file attributes.
- `nix-prefetch` is more configurable and has an interface similar to `nix-build`.
- `nurl` has some nice features dedicated to generated packages (`--indent`, `--list-possible-fetchers`).
