Yeah I know, my whole comment was about nix-shell and about this project posted here, not generally on nix.

nix-shell would happily run inside of any container, vm, etc.
I run nix in a vm all the time. The point of this project seems to be to avoid this approach and use local dev natively, which would be a godsend. I am pointing out that there are a bunch of things that are not really supported or ideal with the chosen nix-shell based approach.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good comes to mind :)
