You don’t want a language with non-determinism, arbitrary IO, impure functions etc. for build configuration ideally.

I guess the answer to your question is OCaml has unmanaged side effects.

They don’t know how good they really have it :)

Horrible. Would’ve been much nicer if they’d reached for Scheme.

CMake was never declarative AFAIK?

CMake today is effectively an eso-lang / Turing tarpit with some “modern” declarative conventions that people try to push.

You need unbounded recursion no?

None of those are close to peak HBO content sorry.

They already are?

All popular models have a team working on fine tuning it for sensitive topics. Whatever the companies legal/marketing/governance team agree to is what gets tuned. Then millions of people use the output uncritically.

Do the problems get harder each day?

Paris is not bike friendly (much better than a decade ago of course)

Why the Copenhagenize Index when Copenhagen is not particularly bike friendly by Dutch standards?

100%. Only a North American could consider Montreal bike friendly.

What’s a good way to include Unison code in a more traditional Git monorepo?

I can say why I bounced off of Nix.

Lots of package combinations didn’t work and I was not skilled enough to figure out why.

The error messages are terrible.

They don’t provide enough versions of packages. I want Python 3.10.4 exactly. But Nix packages by default only provide 3.10.something

I would love to use Nix everywhere, but it’s just too cumbersome for me.

I’d bet that most PC Windows gamers care a lot more about Steam than they do about Windows. If Microsoft did anything drastic - like blocking Steam like Apple do on iOS - it would hurt Windows severely.

You mean PS3 Linux?
