A fancy developer shell for Nix. Uses a plain derivation to minimize env var spam. Modular configuration with The NixOS Module System, although its API is awkward due to TOML fanaticism.
Nix implements reproducible and hermetic software builds using the metaphor of pure functions. Builds have a well-defined set of inputs, and for the same inputs, they produce the same output. Unfortunately, operating systems in general are not deterministic, partially as a result of their hardware not being deterministic (especially with SMP, branch predictors and OoOE).
Nix uses a language of the same name for its package definitions.
The Private Void infrastructure is built on NixOS. Software deployed on it is built with Nix.
NixPak provides sandboxing for Nix packages. The sandbox configuration uses The NixOS Module System.
NixOS is a Linux distribution built on top of Nix. It uses a modular configuration system The NixOS Module System.
Nix Super is my personal fork of Nix. It has a bunch of extra features that I find useful tacked on.
Data science should be reproducible. Nix is pretty good at reproducibility. How do we combine the two? jupyterWith is a convenient Nix library for this purpose. It can create Jupyter Lab environments and declaratively configure Jupyter kernels, including all the language libraries used.
