[Nix-dev] New website

[Wout Mertens]

I really don't like that Nixpkgs is being buried in favor of NixOS. More
people using Nixpkgs => more bugs found+fixed, more packages, newer
versions, more switches to NixOS.

Nixpkgs is a stepping stone.

Why point Homebrew users to Nix? They only want to have an nginx install,
or a more recent rsync etc. They don't want to reinvent Nixpkgs...
