Computers Should Be More Like Smartphones
- transfire 11y agoOkay so this is mostly a push for Nix Package Manager. While there are compelling features about Nix, it nonetheless feels overwrought. Between the long hash names for package directories and the whole "functional packages" which requires a whole new scripting language, I tend to want something a bit simpler. For example, I tend to like Gobolinux approach better.
- _query 11y agoDon't focus on nix too much, sandboxes are the most important point :) Nix is not the only solution, there is also GNU guix for example. Actually I agree that the nix language is just increasing the complexity, one could have used a already existing language.
