a set of tools that wont fade away, its much harder to believe that about nixlang than its for bash/dash/sh

i dont have to recreate nix to get easy customized installs, my installer script doesnt need to know or do anything about derivations, monads, flakes, etc. it just uses packages from my distro and pulls in my .config directory. what else does nix do that my script should do? the software my script installs is probably more supported than it would be on nix because its on ubuntu, one of the more commonly supported distros.

Nixlang doesn't have a type system sufficient to encode monads, so you don't have to worry about it ;)

Bash has been around for over 34 years, which is very respectable. But Nixlang has also already been here for more than 20.

wat? Nix runs on Ubuntu just fine...

It doesn’t have to go away when your alternative won’t work correctly in the first place and will collapse under its weight.
