Not all lisps are declarative, but a lisp certainly can be declarative.

No, it is Turing-complete.

I was going off of the article and Nix documentation that says Nix is declarative. But if it actually is not, then there shouldn't be a problem with power.

However, Nix proponents shouldn't claim it is declarative either.

Laziness, and purely functional go a long way toward declarative.
