Basing their killer app, the package manager, on a weird Haskell-like semi-functional undocumented language was a major faux pas of the project in my opinion. Guix is certainly easier to understand and hack, but sadly too "GNU" (i.e. orthodox) to be as useful in the real world as NixOS.
Adopting NixOS means learning how everything fits together as well as learning the quirks of a not very intuitive language. Way too make adoption even harder for everyone on the fence.
