"Yes, it is."

AFAIK It's each of those things, each unfortunately named the same.

We already have names like NixOS and nixpkgs at the top, and individual commands such as nix-env or nix-shell at a lower layer. Perhaps it would be beneficial to adopt official names for other components currently named "nix", such as nixlang (when referring to just the language).

Only the package manager and the language share a name, everything else is named more unique
