This was wonderfully written. As a Nix beginner, I found it super helpful and wish there was more documentation that explained the major aspects of Nix this clearly.
Author of the post here. Thank you. I've been working on my style for teaching NixOS concepts for a long time. If I ever get around to writing a book on Nix/NixOS it's going to use either this style or a refined view on this style.
