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.

    Tested a very very basic performance test with python and it was 100x slower

      Python being an interpreted language may be one of the worst case scenarios there. Whenever I try using python from either a docker container of a foreign CPU architecture using qemu, or even a proot on Android , it’s dog slow as well.
