That somewhat overstates it, but sure.

I think the point is, what trade-offs are you paying such that you'd be better off using Modus, but not a Dockerfile or a Nix expression. -- If you want to benefit from nicer programmatic building of Dockerfiles, and can afford the risk of adopting some non-mainstream technology, you're probably better off trying Nix than this.
