I'm noticing that, to a first approximation, nix and cloud-native container things are on opposite ends of an alignment chart.

nix: very hard to learn, but once you do it's pretty robust at what it does

containers: pretty websites and 3-line get starteds, and they all seem to fall over with some showstopper bug in the first five minutes

Kind of ironic that the systems built to let people ship their desktops to prod, only seem to work on the devs' desktops.

Today brought to you by: oh yeah creating a dev container for the two most popular distros on earth just hangs with no diagnostics. It's been like that for a year

Or you could just use weeblmymy, it's a new thing that can only spawn unstable void linux with broken DNS but it's got a very well designed website

Or TromblTunk v3, but it only works if you use an unmaintained container runtime and pass the --dangerously-frump-the-tromp feature flag, and sometimes it just deletes all your containers

I'm very confused because I was given to understand that the point of these containers was that there would be a way to successfully run things, and that does not seem to have happened thus far.

Anyway at least with nix the hazing rituals seem to end at some point and then you can have nice things. Well, or could, until recently.
