There are also plans to improve the nix language and make it into the lix language, which is different but still generally syntactically compatible with the nix language[3].
Trivia
- NixOS uses a purely functional package management approach, ensuring that package installations do not interfere with one another.
- The Nix package manager allows for reproducible builds, making it ideal for development environments.
