Thanks for the thoughtful responses. I can probably get used to another quirky programming language, since I have worked with many other languages.
Might even look into writing a Ruby gem, or a Perl module, to implement a replacement to the nix language. Both Perl and Ruby are very flexible and user-friendly languages, and choosing either of those could significantly drive nixOS adoption.

@purrperl @ar @abmurrow @rperezrosario :dragnthink: Would that actually be... reasonable? I'm curious about your thoughts on how to implement it.

@purrperl @abmurrow @rperezrosario I think you're underestimating the scope of "replace nix". :ablobcatwink:
