How to Learn Nix
It sounds like https://github.com/jonringer/nix-template might be helpful to you. You can generate a nix expression to build an autotools package, and you can even pull the package info straight from a public repo. In the case of nix, most C-type things fall under stdenv, so that is the template you would want to use.
I barely write any C, but I've gotten very good at building C/C++ applications over the past couple of weeks by fixing broken derivations ahead of a release.

How to Learn Nix
I've been looking into Nix a lot lately (but have yet to take the leap - I'll probably start with devshell)
But a couple of projects have come up lately that piqued my interest wrt syntax and alteratives (Since I am not sure about Scheme anymore than Nix (as a langauge) :-)

Ask HN: What Are You Working On?
An alternative to Nix that uses Starlark (python syntax) instead of a purely functional programming language: https://github.com/maxmcd/bramble
I struggled to climb the steep learning curve of Nix/NixOS and wondered what it would be like with a more familiar (to me) syntax.
It's been very rewarding to write. I was able to implement some ideas from the initial Nix paper that aren't present in Nix. Nix is also quite dependent on the use of the /nix/store path, but I was able to allow a user to use almost any path for their build store without sacrificing on the potential for a shared build cache. I also want to have better native support for things like building docker images, among other features.
I'm currently implementing sandboxing and finalizing some of the build structure, but hoping it'll be usable sometime soon.
What are some alternatives?
