    Go to https://nixos.org/ and come to your own conclusion. I've argued with hundreds of people about this, and I don't want to start again. Just have fun! For one thing, every machine I have is defined as infrastructure as code here, and it's reproducible https://github.com/matthewcroughan/nixcfg. That's impressive. If you don't think so, then you probably don't need Nix, and may not appreciate what it does. You can read the Nix Thesis https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf if you want more of a technical understanding. I also recommend reading http://www.infrastructures.org/papers/turing/turing.html for a background on why reproducibility matters and congruency matters.
