Reposting because it looks like federation failed.

I was just reading about it, it sounds like a pretty cool OS and package manager. Has anyone actually used it?

    I don’t like the idea of configuring pm (or anything else) using a programming language. So I would try nix first if I feel that I need it. However I don’t.

        Not quite: It’s an expression language.

        The ultimate output of Nix is one set of data, usually the description of a derivation (~= package). You cannot cause arbitrary side-effects with it like writing to files or making network requests with it.
