I find it extremely frustrating that I have to use Nix to use this framework. We don't use Nix at my company, and we likely never will. I can easily incorporate packages from hackage into our codebase. I really don't want to have to vendor this project myself. Why make a great web framework and then create such a large constraint on who can use it reasonably?

We use nix in production at my company. It’s horrible. It’s only good for ecosystems that rely heavily on context or libraries installed by operating system package managers. Languages that have self contained package managers like JavaScript, Haskell or python don’t benefit. In fact in those cases nix actually makes things worse by making almost everything way more complex and error prone then necessary as literally nothing is designed with nix in mind.
