Thank you. Would you be willing to give us a challenge in a form of example environment that your data analysts/engineers would use with only a `flox pull`?

as nixos user i looked at habitat and the thing that i will never switch to habitat is that environments are not (build) reproducible. basically habitat is more like docker where it snapshots "successful" build and you use that in

the major reason for poor package support is low number of osx users (hydra - nix build farm - builds binaries also for osx).

with nix you can now build docker images ... docs are in the manual http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-pkgs-dockerTools and it is actually rather cool since you don't rely on any docker command :)

with guix/nix you don't even care if they get adopted or not. you can use it in coexistence with any package manager. very common scenario i come across few times a year: you get to work on an old CentOS/RedHat/Fedora box but you need to in

nix (and potentially guix) is working on windows, at least from what i heard. probably there are some issues with existing packages since nobody really pays much attention to windows but if somebody cared this could improved a lot.

havent try guix yet, but with nix you can simply do: nix-env -i vim or vimFull and it should install it. look in documentation at http://nixos.org/nix/ on how to install nix and drop on irc.freenode.org#nixos if having problems

you have yet to give guix or nix a try. been using paludis in past and i can tell you that guix/nix is obvious evolution step :)
