I get the basic idea behind nixOS and its scripting language that handles configuration. I'm planning to replace the nix language with Ruby/Perl, since those languages are already known, and it would save people the trouble of learning the nix language, and would draw more people in to nixOS.

@purrperl @thegardendude @codemonkeymike You mean making your own Nix based OS but then written in Perl/Ruby? I wish you honestly success, share your work when done 🙂

@purrperl @zer0unplanned@friendica.rogueproject.org @thegardendude @codemonkeymike Have a look at #guix, maybe just help increase the number of packages and services available there... Scheme is a pretty easy to learn language and widely taught in CS education.
