tl;dr Try it at https://trynix.dev. Click hello, or python 3.6.2 from 2017, or two eras of hello at once, or a package that exists in no public cache. A Linux machine boots in the tab and you get a shell with those Nix packages on PATH.
Really cool but also significantly limited by QEMU-in-WASM performance. I know Nixpkgs has some WASM cross-compilation capabilities, wonder if it can be hacked further to enable something like this running more “natively”
