The Haskell ecosystem seems obsessed with NixOS in a way I haven't seen anywhere else.

I recall wanting to use Haskell packages that were only available in Nix, but nobody had bothered to make just a normal package.

If you want to create an ecosystem optimized towards correctness, you'll have to curate what you let inside, and drop many things. And Nix is probably the best package manager for correctness.

That of course hurts market share.
