My problem with Nix was not the language, but the very confusing CLI and the way updates were done (nix-channel) and the difficulty of pinning dependencies or documenting how to do that. However, they have been hard at work at a nix CLI 2.0 which is much better, and a new uddating mechanism that is way easier to understand: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/49 https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/49
This gives me hope things are getting better.
Also recently I funded a project for improving error messages in Nix https://opencollective.com/nix-errors-enhancement https://opencollective.com/nix-errors-enhancement
Ther is also now a dedicated Nix Marketing team which are working on improving the website and the documentation
