I hope it helps.
In Nix is the ultimate DevOps toolkitLooks like it offers precompiled packages:
> Nix lets you download precompiled Hackage packages whereas stack compiles them on your computer the first time you depend on them

In Haskell Fan SiteIn view of some replies downthread: yes, application-level management is entirely possible with Nix(OS).
Currently, this works best for Haskell, for which there is a sizeable amount (relatively speaking) of Nix tooling available. This is largely because a lot of Nix(OS) users also use Haskell, perhaps because lend themselves to very similar modes of "declarative" thinking.
This is a thorough, excellent guide on how to develop Haskell projects with Nix, including managing non-Haskell dependencies (zlib, SDL, ncurses, and so on):

I only started using NixOS about a month ago, and it's fantastic. The best part is that binary caches are available for almost everything, so the hitherto-painful step where one compiles Haskell dependencies locally has been completely eliminated. The best way I can descri

be how I work now is "Python virtualenvs, but for everything at once and just so much better".
PS. Gabriel Gonzalez is, in general, someone who makes great documenation. Check out the tutorial for his stream-processing library Pipes: the ASCII art alone is awesome :)
