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

Nix pills and nix.dev are my favorites, alongside the official documentation.

So I find nix really hard to learn and understand - is there any truly excellent resources out there on learning nix?
https://nix.dev/ is the best in depth resource I know but it's a work in progress.

Zero to Nix, an unofficial, opinionated, gentle introduction to Nix
> There are workarounds but none of them official.
But does it need to be official? Wouldn't that at the same time bloat nix even more? Isn't it enough if core people of the community for example build https://github.com/nix-community/nix-user-chroot ?
> In reality the only easy way to get it done is to use additional non-foss software
That is not true at all. You can use a nix docker image, a 5 line nix file and 2 commands to do a very basic CI pipeline almost anywhere.
