Add Nix (package manager) as Devops? (alternate to Docker)

[goyalyashpal]

Hi!

Thanks a lot for such a wonderful tool.

• The NixOS, and the Nix package manager are gaining popularity these days.
• I migrated from windows 10 to linux NixOS several weeks ago, and as a power user and a developer, I am loving both the aspects of it:
• The NixOS runs as a linux distro, and the nix package manager is available on NixOS (obviously), other linux distro, and macos too. No native windows support so far.

NixOS provides:

• declarative configuration options for system configuration, the DE, WM, any services, or system packages
• declarative config options for applications using homemanager

Nix package manager provides way(s) to configure:

• both the isolated development & build environment
• as well as the build & install process itself - i.e. calling all the dedicated tools directly & automatically from within itself
• annnddd an isolated way to run the finished outcome too (howww COOOL is that WOWW)

in the short period so far,

• i managed to learn both these aspects (nixos, nix pkg manager),
• and have successfully built both C applications (with make) & python applications (plain scripts, and pyproject projects) with the nix package manager.
