Looking at bingo’s features, you already get most of them for free in Nix, such as multiple package versions, isolation and naming binaries to what you want. But the key difference is that Nix’s dependency specification is exact, not nominal like in bingo (so two packages of the same version and name but slightly different dependencies wouldn’t be confused in Nix.)

The beauty of Bingo is that it uses Go's built-in project install feature, ie. its as easy as as replacing `go` with `bingo` :

   $ bingo install package-url

you don't need to maintain any package information.

I'm not sure if nix can install (+ manage) golang binaries from the command line using _just_ the package url / binary name?
