I'm finding it very difficult to learn Nix at the same time as learning another computer language. Nix seems to have to be learned first, but what would one do with it if one isn't technically astute? If one is learning another computer language as their first language they are constantly interrupted figuring out errors caused by using nix, sifting through minimal documentation, and a lack of tutorials.
I was learning some different testing things in python, and now all of a sudden I'm considering how to package things in nix simply so that I can get my python to run. It actually does seem to make sense if one is trying to understand computing from the ground up, but nonsensical for those that are simply looking to build apps and outsource lower level things.
