Why the Windows Registry sucks technically (2010)
The concept of a system-wide hierarchical key-value store is actually very useful is some environments. I had to develop one some time ago [1] for an embedded system, since is super useful to have a single point of truth/configuration/state, if every application agrees on using it (which is the case in such systems were every application is known in advance and developed in house)

A configuration management system for pets, not cattle
This seems more approachable than NixOS/Guix, which I see as state or the art for declarative hosts.
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-... aims to flatten the learning curve for NixOS.

Our Roadmap for Nix
We're onto the pedagogy thing. Check out the Nix book efforts: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-....
Regarding the language and "configurations" specifically, you might like what we do with Nickel: https://github.com/tweag/nickel. Research project showing a potential future for Nix.

Why the Windows Registry sucks technically (2010)
Wouldn't say there's a steep learning curve for the language itself, it's pretty easy to get a grasp around it imo. Here's a helpful page I used to quickly get familiar with the language: https://github.com/tazjin/nix-1p
What's rather messy about Nix is nixpkgs with its helper functions all over the place alongside pretty shallow / non-existent documentation (which is unrelated to the language). Thankfully they've started to work on that recently: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-...

How should nix be used?!
there are efforts to better document the whole ecosystem (https://github.com/NixOS/nix-book)
What are some alternatives?
libsqlfs - a library that implements a POSIX style filesystem on top of an SQLite database
nickel-nix - An experimental Nix toolkit to use nickel as a language for writing nix packages, shells and more. [Moved to: https://github.com/nickel-lang/organist]
sqlfs - Sqlite FUSE filesystem with sqlcipher support
dirs-rs - a low-level library that provides config/cache/data paths, following the respective conventions on Linux, macOS and Windows
nix-doc - An interactive Nix documentation tool providing a CLI for function search, a Nix plugin for docs in the REPL, and a ctags implementation for Nix script
nixpkgs - Nix Packages collection & NixOS
nix-1p - A (more or less) one page introduction to Nix, the language.
flake-utils - Pure Nix flake utility functions [maintainer=@zimbatm]
rnix-lsp - WIP Language Server for Nix! [maintainer=@aaronjanse]
