It's more like `apt build-dep`, but you don't install all the development libraries and headers to your system in a global, persistent way. Instead you just make them available for that shell session. It's likely a lot smaller than a Docker container that contains a whole Ubuntu runtime, and it'll automatically share a cache of deoendencies with any Guix packaged you may have installed locally. It also has normal/native access to your filesystem (and thus your dotfiles and your homedir), since it doesn't live in a container.
