I've had a rather similar experience with NicOS a few years ago. I did get comfortable with the language and even contributed a small package! I did like having a reproducible config file for my whole OS setup.
However, everything was just a hassle to get working. Any program that's not in the package repos takes a day or two of fiddling to install. I just lost patience with it and have been on Ubuntu for the past few years.
