The major drawback for me with the nix language is that at in any location in the code I don't know what is the "shape" of the data it expects. Runtime does tell me but wish I could just go and look it up. Having a typed language would fix this.
Other than that, been using nixos for ~2 years to configure my dev desktops: using the same config everywhere makes the machines identical and is thus a great relief, mostly don't carry a laptop anymore.
