Last time I did nix things, the language docs were not good. I’m fairly comfortable bashing my head into hard things for long periods of time but it was very hard to squeeze answers out of the internet.

For me it took some time. Finishing Nix Pills was enough knowledge to start looking into nix and nixpkgs manual and understanding it. I still get frustrated that some new features that are being added are undocumented, though I also noticed that the nixpkgs documentation by default is set to last stable version. This means changes could be delayed by even 6 months. And given how rapidly nixpkgs change that could be the reason.
