But the Nix way (how alien and complicated) is the theoretical sound way of handling dependencies. The docker solution is a blanket over a mess. Hopefully, documentation and tooling can be improved for a theoretically good but badly implemented solution. The other way around is not possible.

> But the Nix way (how alien and complicated) is the theoretical sound way of handling dependencies. The approach may be sound, but the implementation and the user experience is atrocious, and can be quite easily[1] improved. [1] Easily as in: there have been multiple suggestions on what should be done to improve experience, but nix's codebase may not be conductive to that https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/93327#issuecomment-778546569 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/93327#issuecomment-7... and nix contributors don't even see this as an issue https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/93327#issuecomment-661986395 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/93327#issuecomment-6...
