Nix actually IS Bash under the hood. It uses Perl and Bash to create an atomic installation. I tend to do a LOT less maintenance than I’d need to do if I rolled everything from scratch in Bash.

That explains why Nix despite being parallelized takes a long time to install packages and rebuild the configuration.
