Is NixOS truly reproducible? (luj.fr)
Build reproducibility is often considered as a de facto feature provided by functional package managers like Nix. Although the functional package manager model has important assets in the quest for build reproducibility (like reproducibility of build environments for example1), it is clear among practitioners that Nix does not guarantee that all its builds achieve bitwise reproducibility. In fact, it is not complicated to write a Nix package that builds an artifact non-deterministically:

Zig Reproduced Without Binaries (jakstys.lt)
I decided to bootstrap Zig without using binaries that are checked in the repository and answer if the resulting zig1.wasm in the latest Zig release (0.13.0) is the same the one bootstrapped without using those binaries.

Package reproducibility in Python notebooks using uv isolated environments (marimo.io)
One of marimo’s goals is to make notebooks reproducible, down to the packages used in them. To that end, it’s now possible to create marimo notebooks that have their package requirements serialized into them as a top-level comment.
