Okay, so you're required to read some documentation ahead of time, that's where your problem lies. What's a Terraform module? What is Terraform? What is a provider? Why don't I just build all my infrastructure with the AWS Console? Why is it it's own weird language? What is this state thingy that just ended up in my folder? Do i give it to the devs? I think it's pretty much consensus that Terraform is great for provisioning anything with an API. Nix does the same for your packages, partitions, OS, containers, shells and many more things in the same functional manner. In a company not everyone has to be a Nix wizard either, if a small team knows Nix they can build the Nix infra, then developers can reap the benefits of not having to mess with it at all. Just because people are unable to comprehend the benefits doesn't mean they do not exist. And if you wanna reap great benefits you might need to spend an hour or two reading things. Yes it's a novel way of doing things, but it's also one of the most actively developed projects with one of the highest amounts of contributors in the world. https://discourse.nixos.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9bc7db115bd5ab664e7fa94022db47742f5483ba.png https://discourse.nixos.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9b... > Fine, but what about auto envs and nix shell? I don't use these with make or cmake. I need to attach a debugger, where does it go? How do I set up my IDE that has no idea nix exists? The people that know Nix well enough will assist the ones that doesn't know, if you enter a nix shell and start vscode from there it'll be aware of $PATH which Nix sets, meaning it'll find all your dependencies.
