Nushell doesn't support eval, so we'd need to write to a temporary file and then source that each time

Conclusion, nushell doesn't allow dynamic sourcing of files in scripts because it evaluates the files during the parsing phase. Running something like kaldo to populate a file of aliases & then sourcing it won't work because the sourcing will get evaluated before kaldo gets run

The problem you ran into here is the file.nu is relative. You can only source files with absolute (well known) paths. It is also common practice to split this operation into the env.nu & config.nu files as seen below.

# ~/.config/nushell/env.nu
kaldo -s nu | save ~/.config/aliases.nu

# ~/.config/nushell/config.nu
source ~/.config/aliases.nu

It would be pretty easy to optimize this by only running kaldo -s if the .kaldorc is more recent then the target aliases.nu file.
