Well Haskell was mentioned many times in presentation, sixos is “Gentoo with Haskell instead of Python” https://cfp.cccv.de/media/38c3-community-stages/submissions/...

But thank you for insights, I have learned Haskell basics and in awe already. Maybe "functional code is going to fix the world" not the full truth when I get more experienced ;-)

Why everything is inflated and bloated? It is foundational to our computer systems.* There is alternative way, functional programming, that is much harder to learn than Object-Oriented, but makes cleaner code without side effects. So Six/NixOS is very promising and going to install it when I have learned Haskell first to understand it's foundations more deeply.
