I’ve been using Nix and NixOS for 4 years now. While I like using it for my PCs and tried using it for servers with success, I think its ecosystem still is immature for development and production purposes, and thus my passion for Nix has faded.

So my question is what keeps you using Nix or NixOS? How have you been using it? Do you still feel passion and hype for it?

    I’ve been using guix for a little over a year and a half and be forewarned theres way fewer of us so packages get updated super slowly (if at all).

    I will say the best thing about guix is that scheme is hands down a better language for doing what Nix/Guix is trying to accomplish and of the few packages I’ve written for Nix and Guix, I’ve had a much nicer time writing Guix packages.
