Am I out of touch?

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

nd of interesting shit you can do in Nix, at one point I had zfs and ipfs entries in one of my configs. I got away from it all before flakes started to get popular.

I tried it as a docker host; the declarative formatting drove me around the bend. I get a fair bit of disaster proofing on my docker host with git and webhooks, besides us

I suspect that the whole Docker thing will improve exponentially now that Nix is on the Docker's radar. I found the OCI implementation to be superior to the actual Docker implementation in Nix.....at least for now. I think the way that Docker isolates things to layers is the biggest barrier to them working together seamlessly at the moment....but I think they'll start to converge technolgically over the coming 10 years to the point where they might work together as a standard someday.
