<!-- TODO: missing the emotional part

One tool, many languages, many more projects.

<p>
With today's polyglot development environments, each language has its
own way of building and testing.
<strong>Encourage cross-team development</strong>
by providing a single way of building everything.

<p>
Keeping the project README up to date with the latest working version
of how to install system dependencies for you project is a never
ending task. Nix allows you to specify your system dependencies
alongside your project dependencies. Development environment is one
simple command away, all you need to run is
<code>nix-shell</code>.
</p>
<p>
Multiple versions or variants of a package can be installed at the
same time without a problem. This is important when different
projects have dependencies on different versions of the same package
— <strong>Nix prevents the “DLL hell”</strong>.
