... kinda like people who pretend that Zig is a competitor to Rust, and conveniently forget to mention that it does not promise memory safety. I think that this comparison is unfair. First of all, the OSTree documentation doesn't pretend that it is something like Nix. It's an object storage for operating system images. Secondly, in contrast go Zig, OSTree most likely wider use/deployments than Nix, since it is used by Fedora CoreOS and Fedora Silverblue. That said, even though Nix and OSTree are not very similar. For users, there are similar benefits: an immutable system, atomic upgrades/rollbacks, etc. I think it is also much more likely that OSTree gets into the hands of millions than Nix. (Disclaimer: I like Nix a lot and am a contributor to nixpkgs.)
