+  #
+  # Nix provides a declariative way to define reproducible development environment

+  # 
+  # If you use Nix, you can install and activate all dependencies required to
+  # develop on this project with:
+  #
+  # $ nix develop
+  #
+  # If in addition you have `direnv` installed, you can create `.envrc` file with
+  # `use flake` content, so that development environment activates automatically
+  # when the project root directory is entered.
