> Language is called Nix Yep; that's a bummer. The manual calls it the "Nix expression language", and some people refer to it as "nixlang" (similar to Gophers saying "golang") > OS is actually called Nix Nope, it's always NixOS; 100% of the time. In fact, the naming confusion goes the other way in this case, since the whole project (Nix, NixOS, etc.) lives on the domain nixos.org, and the GitHub account NixOS! > package manager is called Nix The commands are called Nix; but I personally find the idea of "package manager" just complicates things. Nix is more of a build tool, like Make; internally, it uses "derivation" to refer to anything from a text file to an entire OS. An application, like a music player, may involve many derivations (e.g. a derivation for its source code, a couple of derivations containing patches, a derivation for an interpreter with the required libraries, etc.); indeed the "actual program" in our $PATH is often just a script which invokes some other binary defined via a different derivation ;)
