I don't mean to intrude in discussion, though it's entirely off-topic.
Please forgive me.

Thank you John. I know NixOS by name but no more, from your message I
got to know Nix that can handle package on MacOSX. Seems good. Thank you
for let me know this. Besides I keep on eyes on Guix, and hope someday
it can be a PM under MacOSX.
