The difference is I can upgrade my NixOS without breaking everything hahaha. But it has gotten a lot more popular recently, which I think is your analogy? Or because people always bring it up now lol

yea i think its the popularity spike. if only there were more docs on flakes though.

I still don't completely get their point, TBH.

And the Nix language seems to be intentionally confusingly close to json.

iirc theyre meant to improve reproducibility by using pinned versions of stuff like nixpkgs instead of inheriting from your system which could be a problem if for example someone on 23.11 sends a deriv to someone on 24.05
