I'm not really happy with the state of Nix and NixOS at the moment.
I really really like the idea to write code and generate a readonly system/program out of it.
My problem is the learning curve. There is no easy way to start. I use Nix for 4-6 months now. I still try to figure out what breaks my config or why the .. my overlay does not work.
I would love to have debugger like in python. Just show me the internal state, what are the variables, what variables even exist and what functions can be called at $line in code.
At the moment i am trying to figure out why the heck my overlay does not work ... again.
If there is a kind of debugger i would be happy with nix for now...
And i still don't get it how people can work with this software/os without getting insane if you want a custom version of a program or something not standard from cache.nixos.org .
