it's not an either or, it can be reproducible and cached similarly, nix cannot guarantee reproducibility if the user does things to break that possibility

  The difference is that you can blow the Nix cache away and reproduce it entirely. The same cannot be said for Docker.

    That's not true Docker has a `--no-cache` flag, even easier than blowing it away, which you can also do with several built in commands or a rm -rf /var/lib/docker Perhaps worth revisiting: https://docs.docker.com/build/cache/ https://docs.docker.com/build/cache/

      That will rebuild the cache from upstream but not reproducibly.
