Dependency hell is this annoying guest who’s ruining your party and making the situation uncomfortable. You didn’t realize they were invited, but now they’re here breaking everything.
Would it be possible to generate and maintain sane up-to-date environments, with packages having eerie dependencies? The answer is YES, and you don’t have to read the Necronomicon to make that happen. It’s called Nix, and it ain't dark magic…
So, are you ready to Nix?
