 Let me know if you find any factual error, or have any other comments.

Thanks; this was enlightening.  I also didn't know about the

BTW, for playing with the language you may want to check out the nix-repl
package (nix-env -i nix-repl).

it would be nice to get your blog posts about nix directly in
http://planet.nixos.org/

you can submit pull request and add yourself to the list
https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-org-configurations/blob/master/nixos-org/planet-feeds.nix

this also goes for the others that are writing about nix/pkgs/os/ops
