For everyone who learns a new language as they are munching on a cookie and drinking coffee every random day I have no doubt Nix is great. Tried it, hated the language, left in disgust. :person_shrugging:

It’s also hugely ironic they are proponents of reproducible builds and last I checked a few months ago they couldn’t even make their own stuff be reproducible… :003:

Maybe, but I’ve seen a claim on HN that Nix itself isn’t reproducibly built.
