What is Nix and why you should try it
Nice. I started using macOS 5 months ago and it felt a bit as a step back coming from Linux.
Does Nix work good with macOS?

I should mention that on High Sierra there’s a bug with kill(-1, ...) that sometimes causes Nix builds to lock up the whole system.

Also, the OS X windowmanager has a memory leak and you have to resart every so often. Yesterday mine was 22GB and after restart <100MB… Nothing to do with Nix, just venting ;-)

I've never had that happen. Maybe things that don't have to do with Nix... really just don't have to do with Nix ;-)
