I'm sure nix is cool but this sort of sounds like something we just end up using docker for these days (for better or worse).
- zzzcpan 9y agoYes, Docker is a competing solution. Hopefully in the future we will see a better one, more nix-like.

I would love to be able to use Nix to define my project+dependencies and Docker to run it. I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already made a baseline NixOS docker image to build off of.
