I wonder if well designed "mutable" operating systems like Arch and Alpine that are going to beat NixOS etc. in the long run. An install script is strictly more powerful that a declarative config language, and typically less verbose.
- Pay08 5mo agoMight as well use Guix then. You still have the declarative config language, but also a turing-complete (and convenient) programming language.
- joshmoody24 5mo agoWhat do you mean by strictly more powerful?
- conorbergin 5mo agoScripts are typically turing complete, config files are typically not.
