Nix achieves reproducibility by managing the complete dependencies graph (the _closure_) of a project. While this will not be discussed in this article, it makes it a great cross-compilation framework and it is worth noticing this is one of the main reason of why we use it at IOG. Other challenges solved by Nix are: How do we sync workspaces to make sure we're all dealing with the same technical stack? How do we make sure that Developer A can reuse the work of Developer B? One last way of introducing Nix is to say that it ensure that your developer environment respect a _semantic contract_. Like you can write a program that precisely and accurately states a meaning of some thing (e.g., the meaning of `2 + 2` _is_ the symbol `4`), with Nix you get a semantic contract for, e.g. in our case, a _shell closure_, which means a developer environment.

So, to sum up, Nix is the tool that let you write reproducible, seamless and correct developer enviroments, and `DevX` shell is our opiniated definition on how to pack it with tools such as it is full-featured for Haskell development. This article aims to give you a technical deep dive on how to use the `DevX` shell (and other IOG Nix-related projects such as IOGx flakes' framework and `hix` CLI tool) in your own Haskell project. By the end of the following section you should be able setup it in few steps, even in your Github Action CI or GitHub CodeSpace developer environment!
