Am I out of touch?

No, it’s the forward-thinking generation of software engineers that want elegant, reliable, declarative systems that are wrong.

      GUIX for one.

      GUIX is to NixOS what Gentoo or Manjaro are to Arch.

      I’ll probably try it someday when I get bored enough of systemd.

        Gentoo or Manjaro are to Arch? What do you mean? Those two are very different from each other especially in their relationships to Arch.

          Duly noted. I DO NOT use Arch, btw. ;)

          What I meant to try and say is that GUIX is like NixOS for Chad programmers.

      GUIX is a good example.

      Don’t say ansible. It’s barely declarative.

      True, but it uses a common language in its Playbooks, which is a significant advantage. I’d like nix if I didn’t need to use nix the language. It’s great concept and the portability is awesome.
