It is much better than Docker. 1. No need to worry if docker image is available. 2. Much more performant. 3. No need to mount files inside the container if you need to use local files. 4. I think Nixpkgs has more packages than docker images (I could be wrong) 5. Multiple tools, library can be `declared` on the flake.nix to create this dev environment. No need to build custom image and push to a container registry before you can use it. The list goes on...
Very informative with good examples
ps: I love the tools you show, very different from what i usually hear about, continue!
is it a kinda alternative to docker then ?
