This is keeping me from immediately jumping on Nix.
I'd rather use guix and scheme, but it's behind. If I learn nix, and then guix some day catches up, I'll already know nix and won't want to make the change anymore. Can't say I like the outlook for guix.

Interesting. I've been writing Bash scripts for over 20 years and despite my comfort with it, I'm always exploring avenues of replacing it. Despite the time investment already spent, I know there are far better tools out there to do the same jobs.
