Looks like a cool alternative to https://grahamc.com/blog/nix-and-layered-docker-images https://grahamc.com/blog/nix-and-layered-docker-images

  'Cool' isn't the word I'd use here. But I guess it's useful if you already have an ad-hoc build system and you can't/won't migrate to something industrial-strength.

    Could you elaborate with some examples of what you mean, and where those might be better alternatives than using the linked tool?

      Which of the linked tools? The original commenter called magicpak a 'cool alternative to nix', to which I replied that nix is an industrial-strength, tested and very through solution, while magicpak is more like a dirty hack. (We used to have an internal tool much like magicpak before nix came along.)
