The Flox Open Beta
We see a few tools that do a similar built-on-top-of-Nix approach, so we released a Rust library that makes using the "command line API" in a more type-safe manner: https://github.com/flox/runix

flox – Harness the Power of Nix
I wasn't aware of npt, thanks! We've also released https://github.com/flox/runix as a library to make it easier to wrap Nix.

flox – Harness the Power of Nix
Run `flox init` in a fresh directory and you'll see a project initialization and the flake directly in the repo. The main flow in the docs are geared toward non-Nix users, but we have kept the ability to access the underlying flakes directly with Nix (because we want this ourselves!). Take a look at the work in: https://github.com/flox/capacitor
