It's a hurdle to be able to write Nix stuff, but to consume it is pretty easy.

I just tried Nix yesterday for the first time in order to play with reactivated. Was surprised by how simple it was to get it running. Made me think that perhaps containers are not as indispensable as I thought.

And reactivated is awesome, by the way. I just worry about how brittle it will be as both Django and React evolve.

Thanks! Hopefully not brittle at all. Specially since both React and Django are very stable projects, the latter even more than the former.
