The OCaml language package manager, Opam, has support for
interfacing with system package mangers to provide dependencies external
to the language. Supporting Nix required re-thinking the abstractions
used to interface with traditional package managers, but enables using
Opam for development easily whilst benefitting from Nix’s reproducible
system dependencies. This provides one example of how Nix interfaces
with other software development and deployment technologies.
