Thanks, I didn't know about this. It's been about a decade since I actually used Gentoo and I was writing from the hip.

I've published a correction: https://zeroindexed.com/nix-ejection-problem#on-gentoo

Great post! I'm a mildly fanatical Gentoo user myself, but NixOS has tempted me into migrating to function package manager. I've no hesitation to face fiddily systems and work around limitations in the name of freedom and flexibility, so I've choosen GNU Guix. It inherits these same ideas, ostensibly from NixOS itself, but also from the Lisp-driven environment of Emacs with it's advice functions (including sophisticated extensions to the advice system itself, such as el-patch @ https://github.com/raxod502/el-patch)
