Well for starter Nix has a wider syntax because it covers much more than Docker + docker-compose. Which it's perfectly fine because they are two different tools that intersects in few use cases.

Syntax to install a few packages:

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ wget vim nano zsh file ];

Including trailing semicolon. Dockerfile on alpine:

RUN apk add vim nano zsh file

I mean, maybe I'm too used to the latter but I really struggle to find the former simpler.
