Nix package manager
Nix is a package manager that pioneered Functional package management which addresses the criticisms of traditional Unix systems while making it as a specialized tool for 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, Guix package manager, that takes it to another direction with more focus on reproducibility and its extensions such as bootstrapping.
