[[https://nixos.org/][Nix]] is a package manager that pioneered [[id:bfed6daf-4c2b-4426-bab9-2804caa5e079][Functional package management]] which addresses the criticisms of traditional Unix systems while making it as a specialized tool for [[id:6eeb7a24-b662-46d6-9ece-00a5028ff4d8][Reproducible research]].
It features a handrolled configuration language (also called Nix) that leans into functional paradigm, making it easier if you have experience on it.
A popular tool mostly featured in Haskell programming projects.

Eventually inspired GNU to create a fork, [[id:be917383-84c4-4bf5-9ca0-b04bfb778f4f][Guix package manager]], that takes it to another direction with more focus on reproducibility and its extensions such as bootstrapping.

Update the files for convention Apparently, the convention (at least starting from 2018) is to make the keywords and block names to be in lowercase as stated from one of the following discussions at https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/. The files was updated with a one liner of shell. However, this is Emacs and org-mode does have an API to let you do stuff in your config and interact with the documents internally so it is not an elegant solution in any way. 2021-04-01 16:08:15 +00:00			`#+title: Nix package manager`

Add a bunch of notes Well, I forgot to add them into the VCS. Whoops... On the other hand, I'm also trying to make it suitable both for org-roam and neuron at the same time. 2020-09-06 12:43:51 +00:00
