- yepguy 8y agoSpeaking of parity, while the Guix project may have some catching up to do in general, I think their documentation has been superior to Nix for a while.
- josteink 8y agoNix IMO suffers greatly from... using its own weird own language and DSL (Nix) which has its own weird semantics. I tried NixOS and was even willing to author packages to get stuff I needed working, but I could never wrap my head around the Nix-language. Guix however, that’s just LISP and there’s few things simpler than that in the entirety of the programming-universe. IOW you don’t have to learn something new, or get new editor plugins or whatever. I really want Guix to succeed. Here’s me hoping they won’t hamstring it over licensing issues like the FSF often does.
