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.

Gentoo Users: What are your thoughts on NixOS? Have you used it before? How do you think it compares to Gentoo?
You might be interested in tools like nix-alien which help, though to some extent it's always going to be an annoyance.

Arch + NixOS at once?
There's also nix-alien to run random binaries and nixos-fhs-compat to FHS your OS (might need some tweaking).

NixOS 22.11 “Raccoon” Released
I appreciate your comment here, and the parent comment.
I've been using OPNSense[0] as my router for the past several months. So far, I am quite happy with it, but I've also thought that NixOS would be the next step.
My OPNSense router has 30+ VLANs and many layered firewall rules (my take on "zEr0 tRuSt") and so the task of converting it all to NixOS seems a little daunting.
I appreciate the utility of OPNSense's web GUI when configuring and troubleshooting my router config. It would be awesome if something like that could be integrated with NixOS. Additionally, something like nsh[1] to provide a traditional router/switch style CLI would be a dream come true.
