     @Skelozard What now? Nix (the language) has nothing to do with JSON; both are is a super ugly and overly complicated syntaxes at that ...

     @zstg@fedia.social @itsfoss@mastodon.social Nix is way simpler than any Lisp dialect, it's just JSON with some degree of computation

     @itsfoss #Gentoo and #NixOS are both hybrid distros. I love the fact that I can arbitrarily override the #Emacs package. Every time there's an update to the Emacs package in the (unstable) channel, my Emacs package gets rebuilt.
     
     Gentoo's bindist is excellent, but it isn't as populated as Nixpkgs is.
     
     I do hate how complex the Nix language is. It takes quite some getting used to. Perhaps if my hardware supported it I would have gone with Guix instead (I'm a little familiar with Guile and the #Lisp languages thanks to #Emacs #Elisp)

     @Skelozard @zstg @itsfoss not really.

     fibonacci = n:
     if n <= 1 then n else (fibonacci (n - 1) + fibonacci (n - 2));

     @amszmidt@mastodon.social @zstg@fedia.social @itsfoss@mastodon.social 95% of the time, Nix language is just a bunch of key-value pair objects

     @Skelozard @zstg @itsfoss and by tha logic … Lisp is REALLY just a bunch of key (car) and values (cdr)… which is much simpler than either JSON or Nix.
