btw i use Nixos

The language itself has no type enforcement, the type checking is implemented within nixpkgs. This might seem like pedantry, but it really matters for things like LSPs (text editor autocomplete). I think that's what scares some people off: it's like OG Minecraft, you need to have the wiki/search.nixos.org open while you are doing your editing.

That being said, the type checking goes much deeper than what the windows registry does - e.g. it won't allow you to enable conflicting services - like grub and systemd-boot - at the same time.
