I suppose that functional languages might be a good fit this problem, then. Nix and Guix come to mind.

  Yes, agreed. I don't think Nix nor Guix are there yet, in terms of usability (not that most current alternatives are much better, mind). But I could see a wrapping layer on top of either of them working quite well. It's difficult to come up with abstractions for the kind of complexities we're dealing with nowadays. I'm hopeful someone will eventually, though...
