@rq4c@mastodon.world @0x7700e6@mastodon.catgirl.cloud Tools need to be built somehow. It all becomes binary in the end, so I don't find this approach particularly amusing.

@rq4c@mastodon.world @fargate@tech.lgbt @0x7700e6@mastodon.catgirl.cloud And that is precisely one of the reasons Nix OS was chosen. Through a configuration file, it is possible to set up identical workstations. I fail to grasp what bothers you specifically in this approach.

@rq4c@mastodon.world @0x7700e6@mastodon.catgirl.cloud @fargate@tech.lgbt there's nothing that much convoluted here, the declarative configuration model is quite useful for mass deploying workstations, and the interpreter of those config files is written in C++ and so what? C++ gets compiled to binary whatsoever, like the Linux kernel itself. To me, there is absolutely nothing wrong or unusual here, I really don't get what you're laughing about?
