I'd be interested to know more about a team that uses Nix and Guix. Is there a website or email an interested party can contact?

Agreed on Guix. Used it for a few years, absolutely loved it, excited to go back (had to move off for unimportant and unrelated reasons). Would love to hear from someone who has us…

Sapiocentric is a great word, get into my lexicon, thank you
