@@EmiNNsoNify maybe wording was not too great but my point is: nix guarantees X only if you follow A,B and C. While you can skip any of those it's not recommended. And I have seen too many times people ignoring e.g. A and claiming that they didn't get the X.

Direnv is a game changer. I also love the eMacs package which integrates with it seamlessly.
Looks good and I will probably use it, but not at work because corporations seem to go by the adage "if it works, don't use it"
