Nix Series: Introduction

Nix was introduced as a toolchain built to solve software environment inconsistency and dependency conflicts.

It works as a language, package manager, and the basis for NixOS, a Linux distribution with declarative configuration.

Its isolated /nix/store model keeps dependencies separate, helping ensure reproducible builds and deployments.

This approach addresses “dependency hell” more reliably than traditional tools like apt, pacman, or brew.
