I've been using nix through devbox [0] & direnv recently for an elixir project.

The experience has been good so far:

- Fully reproducible.

- Does not install things globally, rather on a per-project (directory) basis.

- Reasonably fast

One of the downsides is that cutting-edge releases of packages are not available as quickly as with other means.
