Or its sister project Guix. I really like some of their ideas, e.g. the guix challenge command [1].

Sister project? That implies that they are somehow affiliated...

There's overlap in the community/technology, but they are separate projects. Oftentimes people think that Guix is a fork of Nix, but this isn't so. Fun fact: Guix was started by a former NixOS developer.
