Joe Wasserman@brodriguesco this sounds awesome! do you think using Nix makes it unnecessary to use Docker? or are they different use cases?
@JoeWasserman Nix is extremely flexible, and could indeed replace Docker. It could even replace renv+Docker, and even targets+renv+Docker! That’s why I’m exploring #Nix and trying to promote it. It seems to me as if it could provide an "easier" solution to the problem of reproducibility than renv+Docker.
@brodriguesco wow! I’m most surprised about it replacing targets+renv+docker but that’s very cool. I might have to read up on it, but in the meantime I’m excited to learn more from your explorations! Btw I’ve been recommending your book to all who will listen
@JoeWasserman here is the project I found where Nix is used to define a complete pipeline: https://github.com/PapenfussLab/BioNix
Many thanks for recommending my book 😃
