This is exactly me and I've fallen in love with nix
I worked with a very forward-thinking functional programmer around 2012 and even back then she was raving about it. And of course, people thought she was a raving lunatic.
I give her credit to this day. It took me having one too many problems caused by NOT using Nix, to cause me to finally dive in.
And there's no going back. Which is what happens with the best technologies.
