Nix-Powered Development with OCaml
copy the extracted files over to the nix output dir, and patch-elf all the binaries to link to the nix-version of the dynamic lib.
This sounds more difficult than it is, the result will be a copied over binary file that has its “libc.so” and other dynamic libs replaced in the ELF-header with “/nix/store/hdjdewuieu737-libc/libc.so”. I recommend looking up a package in nixpkgs which has a similar install story, that’s the easiest way to write a new package.
In case you only want to run it locally https://github.com/thiagokokada/nix-alien and similar programs work fine with the binary.

Dependencies Belong in Version Control
Nix (https://nix.dev/) can provide all of this, although in a smarter way than just through dumping everything in the VCS. Some projects use it already to provide a reproducible development environment and if done right a clean build is just a `nix-build` away.

Virtualizing Development Environments in 2023
Author doesn’t mention it but I wonder if tried or considered Nix/NixOS’s reproducible developer environments and ruled them out for any reason. I couldn’t tell from the article if there’s something unique to his requirements that disqualifies them.

I'm almost ready to take the plunge, but first ...
if you want something a more in-depth, zero to nix is a great resource for all things nix (they have a section dedicated to flakes here, but i would pay attention to the notice at the top about reading some other things first), along with nix.dev, and of course, the nixos wiki article on flakes
