Arista, D.E. Shaw, Google are boring big corp

Several of those companies (replit) are building their business on nix.

With nix, even containers are optional.

From those I only know Google and replit, which is still kind of unicorn, and most businesses will never be 1% of Google size.
The others are big, trust me.

My point was that some businesses are tying their destiny to nix - in my experience this is a sign that an open-source project will gain corporate benefactors keeping it afloat + making it safer for others to adopt.
