I know this is not a good faith question but I did devops for many years and the state of the tooling and culture is so atrocious that I don't know if they will ever catch on. They're all lost in a swamp of YAML and Dockerfiles, a decade or more behind the rest of the industry in terms of software engineering knowledge. No one ever had any clue when I tried to talk to them about functional and immutable package management.
- pjmlp 2y agoIt is a remark in form of question, pointing out that Nix/Guix are 3l1t3, and will never achieve the adoption scale of Red-Hat, Debian, Arch, SusSE, Alpine, or the hyperscalers own distributions.
- davexunit 2y agoI don't think Nix or Guix are particularly "3l1t3". They are less mainstream, but they have users of varying technical backgrounds.
