I understand that the industry largely does not acknowledge how big of a problem implicit dependencies are, but since the OP is clearly aware of some issues with implicit dependencies, I was just surprised why so content with these issues. It clearly hinders the adoption of upcoming technologies at least in the mind of the OP.
I'm not really an expert in the Nix expression language. Hasn't even finished reading the Nix pills, which is a very practical documentation, yet I could manage to extract a lot of benefit from that shell.nix template I've shared. I'm using Nix for 3+ years now. Because of this experience I do encourage others not to be afraid trying Nix. It gets better with every release.
Docker is a halfway solution and because of its memory and storage requirements it often strains the average development workstations and internet connections.
