So your friend who heartily recommends Nix might have had a decent experience with his Haskell projects, but you and I working in the trenches with Python or Ruby are having a miserable time and everyone who told us Nix was great just kind of shrugs and chuckles as they tell us they don’t know how to solve our problems with Nix.
