Yes, there's a package manager built by Chef called Habitat that is essentially based of the nix philosophy but with several simplifications to make it more approachable.

- Packages are written as plan files in bash or powershell

- Each package is installed in a unique prefix of the form origin/name/version/release

Disclaimer: I'm one of the developers working on Habitat

Looks like a nice place to test out what happens when you type 'sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root' on an ec2 instance :)

I agree, I feel that the average productivity of a programmer before the dawn of social networking and Facebook was much higher than it is today.
