Looks like a lot of overlap between this and Nix[0] and GNU Guix[1], which are purely functional package managers.

I'm not sure from this article how Snappy actually works. Are they repackaging everything they need for Snappy?

I guess a subset of that could be GNU Stow or Gobolinux.

Guix is based on Nix, with a Guile API.
