LLMs are awful at nix in my experience. Just learn the fundamentals of the language and build something with it.

Calling nix documentation poor is an insult to actually poor documentation.

Remember the old meme image about Vim and Emacs learning curves? Nix is both of those combined.

It's like custom made for me on the idea level, declarative everything? Sign me up!

But holy crap I have wasted so much time and messed up a few laptops completely trying to make sense of it :D
