A look at Unison: a revolutionary programming language
Or just use your existing language of choice, but incorporate Nix (which is based on the same idea), or go all-in and use NixOS (or Guix, very honorable mention) to get the same ideas all the way to the bare metal of the hardware (which IMHO is where the reach of this idea belongs, it is that good)For example, there are tools that convert traditional lockfiles to nix flakes.Nix is more intimidating than it actually is. It’s basically JSON with pure functions and some syntactical-sugar shorthands that end up being very nice.“Flakes” are basically lockfiles for Nix. Before Flakes, Nix still used hashed dependencies though. So everything you install with it is more or less guaranteed to also automatically pull in everything it needs to run, without conflicting with the needs of anything else.
