About

Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration. Learn how to make reproducible, declarative, and reliable systems. Nix builds packages in isolation from each other. This ensures that they are reproducible and don't have undeclared dependencies, so if a package works on one machine, it will also work on another. Nix makes it trivial to share development and build environments for your projects, regardless of what programming languages and tools you’re using. Nix ensures that installing or upgrading one package cannot break other packages. It allows you to roll back to previous versions and ensures that no package is in an inconsistent state during an upgrade. Nix is a purely functional package manager. This means that it treats packages like values in purely functional programming languages such as Haskell, they are built by functions that don’t have side effects, and they never change after they have been built.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Powerful statistical tools. Good quality customisable plots, all different types using all different data and models. Easy to import from csv and there's plenty of datasets around if you go looking. Easy to create and export graphs. Being able to quickly and easily visualise (and share) data is more useful than I could have imagined. All the "academic" data online is suddenly easy to use. I haven't even scratched the surface of community created packages, but they're easy to install, not always so easy to use.

Cons

  • You can get unhelpful syntax error messages. The basics work well but sometimes just changing something (eg colours) in specialised plots feels like a hard programming puzzle. It's mostly straight-forward like "plot(data)", but the commands are written in a programming language and get tricky depending on your needs.
