Thanks for your thoughts. I worded my question poorly, I suppose, but you got my meaning.

I keep seeing nix mentioned alongside complaints about it's maturity but that seems par for the course for something new, doesn't it? Until a tool reaches critical mass sharp edges are to be expected.

I'll look into nix again when I have an appropriate use case.

The Nix package manager on macOS isn't as smooth as Homebrew. Still, Nix is better in many ways.

More broadly, even if it isn't as popular, Nix is a viable tool and also encourages us (developers) to seek out repeatability in our dependencies.
