Without having properly tried it either, my general impression is that the pitch goes a bit like this:
If you love Haskell and wants to make everything that has to so with packages on your system more like Haskell, Nix's got your back.
- aliasxneo 4y agoBecause it's functional? I've been using Nix in production for six months and I have no desire to learn Haskell.
- otabdeveloper4 4y agoNix is nothing like Haskell. The store is built on standard Unix primitives ("worse is better"), and the core language is basically a stripped-down Javascript reskin.
- pxc 4y agoPlaying with Nix did increase my interest in functional programming, which was very new to me when I started using Nix. But I've never gotten around to learning Haskell, and I don't think Nix is just for FP people.
