I tend to agree. I was trying to follow the guide on how to install NixOS with root-on-zfs[0]. I’ve followed it before with my own tweaks just fine, but recently it was updated to include some random guy’s modules that automate a couple steps. They’re mostly shallow abstractions on first-party NixOS modules, but following it was such a pain. I’ve been putting off reverse engineering the guy’s code so I can understand exactly what it’s doing. Apart from the code quality, it would probably be a lot easier to see what was going on in a typed language, with a debugger. Hopefully one day it gets there.
