It seems so obvious to me now that the fundamental design decision in Nix/Guix (to encapsulate dependencies via a content-addressed store, to make only those specific dependencies visible to the dependent app or library, to express all of this declaratively somehow, and to basically treat the entire build process and in fact the entire system configuration like a pure function with a deterministic result) is the way forward.
