Am I out of touch?

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

Which declarative systems exist besides nix? Don't say ansible. It's barely declarative.

GUIX for one.

GUIX is to NixOS what Gentoo or Manjaro are to Arch.

I’ll probably try it someday when I get bored enough of systemd.

GUIX is a good example.

Don't say ansible. It's barely declarative.

True, but it uses a common language in its Playbooks, which is a significant advantage. I'd like nix if I didn't need to use nix the language. It's great concept and the portability is awesome.

BlendOS is a declarative Arch.
