Hehe, the good ol' internal vs external DSL debate....

In my opinion, the good thing about an experiment like this, is to show how 
people can utilise Nix to solve their deployment issues, instead of developing 
yet-another-specialised-package-manager-for-a-particular-programming-language-or-environment.
