+# The Dagger architecture
+
+This document provides details on the internals of Dagger, key design decisions and the rationale behind them.
+
+## What is a DAG?
+
+A DAG is the basic unit of programming in dagger.
+It is a special kind of program which runs as a aipeline of inter-connected computing nodes running in parallel, instead of a sequence of operations to be run by a single node.
+
+DAGs are a powerful way to automate various parts of an application delivery workflow:
+build, test, deploy, generate configuration, enforce policies, publish artifacts, etc.
+
+The DAG architecture has many benefits:
+
+  - Because DAGs are made of nodes executing in parallel, they are easy to scale.
+  - Because all inputs and outputs are snapshotted and content-addressed, DAGs
+  can easily be made repeatable, can be cached aggressively, and can be replayed
+  at will.
+  - Because nodes are executed by the same container engine as docker-build, DAGs
+  can be developed using any language or technology capable of running in a docker.
+  Dockerfiles and docker images are natively supported for maximum compatibility.
+  - Because DAGs are programmed declaratively with a powerful configuration language,
+  they are much easier to test, debug and refactor than traditional programming languages.
+
+To execute a DAG, the dagger runtime JIT-compiles it to a low-level format called llb, and executes it with buildkit. Think of buildkit as a specialized VM for running compute graphs; and dagger as a complete programming environment for that VM.
+
+The tradeoff for all those wonderful features is that a DAG architecture cannot be used for all software: only software than can be run as a pipeline.

-// A DAG is the basic unit of programming in dagger.
-// It is a special kind of program which runs as a pipeline of computing nodes running in parallel,
-// instead of a sequence of operations to be run by a single node.
-//
-// It is a powerful way to automate various parts of an application delivery workflow:
-// build, test, deploy, generate configuration, enforce policies, publish artifacts, etc.
-//
-// The DAG architecture has many benefits:
-//  - Because DAGs are made of nodes executing in parallel, they are easy to scale.
-//  - Because all inputs and outputs are snapshotted and content-addressed, DAGs
-//  can easily be made repeatable, can be cached aggressively, and can be replayed
-//  at will.
-//  - Because nodes are executed by the same container engine as docker-build, DAGs
-//  can be developed using any language or technology capable of running in a docker.
-//  Dockerfiles and docker images are natively supported for maximum compatibility.
-//
-//  - Because DAGs are programmed declaratively with a powerful configuration language,
-//  they are much easier to test, debug and refactor than traditional programming languages.
-//
-// To execute a DAG, the dagger runtime JIT-compiles it to a low-level format called
-// llb, and executes it with buildkit.
-// Think of buildkit as a specialized VM for running compute graphs; and dagger as
-// a complete programming environment for that VM.
-//
-// The tradeoff for all those wonderful features is that a DAG architecture cannot be used
-// for all software: only software than can be run as a pipeline.
-//
-
 // A dagger component is a configuration value augmented
 // by scripts defining how to compute it, present it to a user,
 // encrypt it, etc.

-// A DAG is the basic unit of programming in dagger.
-// It is a special kind of program which runs as a pipeline of computing nodes running in parallel,
-// instead of a sequence of operations to be run by a single node.
-//
-// It is a powerful way to automate various parts of an application delivery workflow:
-// build, test, deploy, generate configuration, enforce policies, publish artifacts, etc.
-//
-// The DAG architecture has many benefits:
-//  - Because DAGs are made of nodes executing in parallel, they are easy to scale.
-//  - Because all inputs and outputs are snapshotted and content-addressed, DAGs
-//  can easily be made repeatable, can be cached aggressively, and can be replayed
-//  at will.
-//  - Because nodes are executed by the same container engine as docker-build, DAGs
-//  can be developed using any language or technology capable of running in a docker.
-//  Dockerfiles and docker images are natively supported for maximum compatibility.
-//
-//  - Because DAGs are programmed declaratively with a powerful configuration language,
-//  they are much easier to test, debug and refactor than traditional programming languages.
-//
-// To execute a DAG, the dagger runtime JIT-compiles it to a low-level format called
-// llb, and executes it with buildkit.
-// Think of buildkit as a specialized VM for running compute graphs; and dagger as
-// a complete programming environment for that VM.
-//
-// The tradeoff for all those wonderful features is that a DAG architecture cannot be used
-// for all software: only software than can be run as a pipeline.
-//

 // A dagger component is a configuration value augmented
 // by scripts defining how to compute it, present it to a user,

-// A DAG is the basic unit of programming in dagger.
-// It is a special kind of program which runs as a pipeline of computing nodes running in parallel,
-// instead of a sequence of operations to be run by a single node.
-//
-// It is a powerful way to automate various parts of an application delivery workflow:
-// build, test, deploy, generate configuration, enforce policies, publish artifacts, etc.
-//
-// The DAG architecture has many benefits:
-//  - Because DAGs are made of nodes executing in parallel, they are easy to scale.
-//  - Because all inputs and outputs are snapshotted and content-addressed, DAGs
-//  can easily be made repeatable, can be cached aggressively, and can be replayed
-//  at will.
-//  - Because nodes are executed by the same container engine as docker-build, DAGs
-//  can be developed using any language or technology capable of running in a docker.
-//  Dockerfiles and docker images are natively supported for maximum compatibility.
-//
-//  - Because DAGs are programmed declaratively with a powerful configuration language,
-//  they are much easier to test, debug and refactor than traditional programming languages.
-//
-// To execute a DAG, the dagger runtime JIT-compiles it to a low-level format called
-// llb, and executes it with buildkit.
-// Think of buildkit as a specialized VM for running compute graphs; and dagger as
-// a complete programming environment for that VM.
-//
-// The tradeoff for all those wonderful features is that a DAG architecture cannot be used
-// for all software: only software than can be run as a pipeline.
-//
-
 // A dagger component is a configuration value augmented
 // by scripts defining how to compute it, present it to a user,
 // encrypt it, etc.
