Too bad they are on Windows. Otherwise they could just use Nix: https://nixos.org/nix or Guix: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/


Nix does run on Windows Subsystem for Linux these days.


And can it interact nicely with the "native" environment? I.e. build MSVC projects or ".exe" apps in general that can be used outside of Nix or WSL? I am not a Windows dev but I am very curious, it would be nice to move some cross-platform projects I work on to Nix completely for dev environment...
