Agree. Though I would not underestimate these people involved in
creating such ecosystems. Often they are not even on Linux. When the
Dlang people created dub I pointed them to Guix. Obviously I failed to
convince them.

It is a complex world out there if you look at the mix of operating
systems and compilers/interpreters. From my point of view GNU Guix
greatly simplies development and deployment - targeting Linux - at the
cost of some up-front investment. It is nice when people realise that
so much complexity goes away living in a Guix world.
