No, that is an urban legend.

Nix is nothing like Haskell.
Also, the functional and lazy nature if Nix is not an ideological decision, it's a necessity when you have a giant monorepo config for 200000 packages. (Without laziness you'd have to wait for an hour just to evaluate the config options.)
- 123nameuser 2y agoWell Haskell was mentioned many times in presentation, sixos is “Gentoo with Haskell instead of Python” https://cfp.cccv.de/media/38c3-community-stages/submissions/8QZKGS/resources/sixos-talk_AeFJi9n.pdf https://cfp.cccv.de/media/38c3-community-stages/submissions/... But thank you for insights, I have learned Haskell basics and in awe already. Maybe "functional code is going to fix the world" not the full truth when I get more experienced ;-)
