  Completely agree on the complexity criticism, but this interactive tutorial (that literally embeds a full nix interpreter in the browser) went a looooooong way towards making Nix files not just look like arcane incantations to me, and doesn't take very long to do: https://nixcloud.io/tour/ https://nixcloud.io/tour/ if at some point you realize "oh... this is just JSON with a different syntax, some shorthands, and anonymous or library functions," you're on the right path

  You might be interested in Devbox (http://jetpack.io/devbox http://jetpack.io/devbox)! We built Devbox because we were frustrated with our Docker based dev environments, and our goal is to provide the power of Nix with a more accessible interface (similar to yarn or other package managers). We're open source and rapidly adding features, you can check us out on Github at https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox
