Yeah, all the common lispers I know are all about interacting with "live" programs as opposed to "dead", compiled ones. Nix takes the last live, mutable, reflectable part of the world of programmers today, the OS itself, and turns it into a dead program as well. So common lispers tend to hate Nix with a passion (as do Smalltalk users).
i'm a lisper, and i don't hate nix. i prefer guix, for sure, but i don't see this hatered you're talking about among other lispers either.
