What Is Nix? 6 years ago

from now on every new machines will be easily replicated with configs from older machines: copy the config file over, type one command and let nix does the rest

nix is the solution. It's totally different from any random packager you've seen. It goes the reversed direction of abstracting dependencies away: it makes dependencies explicit (and reproducible!)

yes, it's included. Nix config files will automatically generate and run services. There's also Nixops which is a tool to push these config to remote machines ie cloud vms.

This is actually fairly common in Clojure annd Clojure script. Sometimes using the Datomic DB as a backend for it. What do you mean by "this" which is fairly common? Datascript is a Datalog implementation, however you can't just bring your query from backend to frontend, not only for incompatiblity but also for security issues. And Datascript is not that popular among Clojurescript apps.

Fulcro is defintely the go to framework. It makes use of EQL, which is a superior alternate to Graphql, for server-client communication.

EQL is surely a great alternative to Graphql because of namespaced keywords and rich data structure (in contrast of Graphql's string base). It is also inspired by Datomic's Pull API. However, it's a specification and the most popular imlementation (Pathom) has nothing to do with Datalog.

It allows nations with crappy social and political systems to undermine labor welfare and protection policies in better political systems without facing repercussions for it. what about the education and raising cost the country of arrival doesn't have to pay because the country of origin did? what about the laymen who undermine social security b/c they don't have competition from immigrants? (I'm just trying to use the same logic to show your argument is incomplete. Researches on free money experiments are showing otherwise)
