I think Nix is great to add dependencies to your project without relying on your local env or separate Docker containers for that. We use it for bob[1] and so far Nixpkgs proved very valuable. It's amazing how many packages are pushed by the maintainers, there are over 80 000 packages there. One problem would be when you don't find the package on Nixpkgs and have to write your own expressions to build a package. https://bob.build/docs/getting-started/package-management https://bob.build/docs/getting-started/package-management
