Yeah this is unfortunately true. I love NixOS and I use it constantly but I'm also a professional developer so it's pretty easy for me. If I weren't I imagine it would be close to impossible.
Unfortunately it's very difficult to browse or understand how to use Nix, and the Nix language itself is quite opaque.
I love the results, but I wish it were done in ... basically anything other than Nix.
Theoretically there is Gnu Guix, which uses Guile... I have no clue what support for it is like though.
Oh interesting, I haven't heard of it -- is it also for reproducible systems?
It's basically the nix system but maintained by the Gnu folks. That's about the extent of my knowledge honestly.
