Am I out of touch?

No, it's the forward-thinking generation of software engineers that want elegant, reliable, declarative systems that are wrong.

Shoving your entire system config into a couple DSL files is elegant? Sorry, I'll stick to OpenBSD's ports system and periodic rsync backups, that give me all the same benefits without the mountain of XY problems. Gentoo would also like a word, but they're too busy recompiling all of llvm with one build flag changed to give input. Hope you never have to use anything other nix, since you've spent all your time learing to configure an abstraction layer instead of interfacing with the real underlying tooling.
