Ignoring Nix is a blatant sign of failure. systemd could learn a thing or two, or even a few dozen things from the language design itself.

About UNIX concepts, they're hidden temporarily because systemd, IMHO, is surfing a deep wave of change in the way OSes are understood. It's very declarative, open to instrumentation (virtualization). Turning the machine into an object. In a few years ideas will have settled and maybe tiny unix-like core components will emerge.

you forgot that they are stuck dealing with the systems already in place. Do you expect Redhat and Debian to give up rpms and debs?

I meant as a discussion point and inspiration, not jumping to Nix.

ps: Debian is working on something similar to that https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds.

And they just as much has to do that to adopt the PoetteringOS as they have going Nix.

your usage of PoetteringOS outs you as a troll.. this discussion is over.
