I understand that Nix solves many problems and indeed bet on its ability to do so. It is why I've put so much effort into Nix itself.

However, Nix poses a relatively steep learning curve being built up from first principles making it very general. Flox aims at simplifying this by narrowing the problem field and providing specialized abstractions and interfaces for those who want to benefit from nix' capabilities without needing to becoming a nix expert at day 0.
