I mean people might be dicks about it, but I stand by my point.

It’s inherently hard to learn new things, especially if they’re contrary to things that you’ve been doing for N years, so I understand frustration, but that doesn’t imply that Nix itself is more difficult than anything else.

There are plenty of things that aren’t inherently difficult for most humans, but are hard to learn simply because they’re different. I don’t know that Spanish is a more difficult language than English, but I would have trouble learning it just because I have spent my entire life speaking English and approximately none of it speaking Spanish. This doesn’t mean Spanish is more difficult than English.

I will agree that the Nix language itself is kind of a pain in the ass with wonky syntax, though I have grown to kind of like it begrudgingly.

That's fine. I'm not trying to convince you to change your stance, simply bringing a perspective of Nix being used in production in a company of 500+ engineers. It's not an exhaustive example, but I've always used it as a data point of the general dislike of Nix I see across the board.
