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-...

Our Roadmap for Nix
There has been a bit of a pause while tazjin was exploring how to use Nix as a monorepo build system, together with Gerrit. Now that this is done, he recently started writing a new Nix interpreter that will better scale for big repos. I don't think that work is public yet.
There also has been some effort on https://github.com/nix-community/go-nix spearheaded by flokli to re-define some of the binary cache protocols. This will allow for more incremental transfers of build artefacts, reduced bandwidth and disk consumption.
What are some alternatives?
