Why We're Moving on from Nix
The version selection part sounds weird. The versions in nixpkgs make sense when you're running/building the system. If you're providing runtimes/compilers as a platform, you really want something like what devenv does - provide the versions yourself. You really don't want to end up building an old system to provide an old nodejs - you're leaving security patches in dependencies behind. Devenv does it for example through https://github.com/cachix/nixpkgs-python "All Python versions, kept up-to-date on hourly basis using Nix."

Combining Nix with Terraform for better DevOps
At Stack Builders, our DevOps/SRE team uses nix-shells to install all of the necessary tooling to work on various Infrastructure-as-Code projects across the board. However, while nix-shells are useful for creating portable development environments, more fine-grained control over the different Terraform versions was lacking. We've taken inspiration from nixpkgs-python and nixpkgs-ruby, and we're grateful for the paths they've paved.

Using Haskell with devenv.sh
In the near future we plan to create nixpkgs-haskell, in similar style of nixpkgs-python, to expose all GHC minor versions released in the last years.
- All Python versions, kept up-to-date on hourly basis using Nix.
