I’ve been burned hard by Nix but I’m going to steel man the argument.

- Nix is very good at cross platform support. A single entry-point creates environments on both MacOS and Linux.

- Docker containers run slower on MacOS because the virtualization overhead.

- Docker images can provide a reproducible environment but the images themselves aren’t reproducible.
