It also solves some really hard problems when building and distributing complex software with numerous dependencies. In a way, it is fullfilling the promises that docker, flatpaks, snap etc can’t keep.
The tradeoff is that there’s a Guixy way to do things that might not be obvious from the upstream docs, so could be harder to get e.g. a service up and running initially, but for me the reproducibility makes it a good tradeoff.
That sounds awesome
