NixOS is subtly marketed to Haskell folks.

I got into Haskell because I wanted to learn ADTs, and quickly found I really appreciate the ways that purely functional programming tickles my brain!

NixOS has been described as a "purely functional Linux distribution" and I liked the sound of that at first. I haven't figured out what this means, lol, but I tried it anyway and quickly found I really appreciate it's declarative configuration.
