That's, like, just your opinion, man.

Scheme and/or Lisp is literally the worst language choice for this problem domain.

Why is Lisp the worst for this problem domain?

I will admit I find guix to be much more verbose than Nix.

For starters, a configuration language needs to be lazy by default. (Unless you want to evaluate the whole world every time you change one line.)

I wouldn't say it's the worst. I don't like Lisp and co, but I think it's alright for this. I don't like Guix for a very different reason.
