I really don't know how much of the problem is me. For some reason, I have a really hard time groking Haskell, and Nix seems to fit in the same boat. I don't know why. It's not the functional programming. I love doing functional style programming in Rust, Python and recent versions of c++. And I didn't have any problem with Prolog and Lisp for those few university courses. I have a suspicion that my brain just finds the concept of lazy evaluation by default to be deeply offensive. What I do know is that personally: I could never grasp Nix; The repl didn't help; The repl was the extent of the debug tooling; I never found good documentation to help me learn; and I was getting anxious at the thought of doing anything on that server.
