@Zerglingman also, funny thing about that article you linked.
>Something about a carrot and a stick: if you're doing development in e.g. Ruby or Haskell, come give Gentoo (Prefix) a try. We don't have Rubygems hell or Cabal hell here—everything just works. Although, you'll probably want to use the Ruby overlay or Haskell overlay to get the most up-to-date packages.
The joke is, I used to be one of the committers to the Gentoo Haskell overlay (i used gentoo before nixos). Most people who worked on it switched to NixOS as well.
