Nix, NixOS, Rust
An enthusiast gives it a spin+
I used to visit NixOS once a year; I did it every year from 2010-12 then stopped. Things have progressed immensely but I don't have a home application for what NixOS does. If you don't have need of a reliably reproducible system its like trying to drive a zamboni wrapped in plastic wrap. And why it's not. There's a live cd give it a whirl.
How refreshing to discover Xe and her website. Here's how she uses Nix (package manager) and NixOS:
I have the configuration for my shell, emacs, my window manager and just about every program I use on a regular basis defined in their own NixOS modules so I can pick and choose things for new machines.
As an example of devotion to NixOS see the highly entertaining: ianthehenry.com
I am going to try to replicate Xe's example on the Windfall System.
