rixpress: Build Reproducible Analytical Pipelines with 'Nix'

Streamlines the creation of reproducible analytical pipelines using 'default.nix' expressions generated via the 'rix' package for reproducibility. Define derivations in 'R', 'Python' or 'Julia', chain them into a composition of pure functions and build the resulting pipeline using 'Nix' as the underlying end-to-end build tool. Functions to plot the pipeline as a directed acyclic graph are included, as well as functions to load and inspect intermediary results for interactive analysis. User experience heavily inspired by the 'targets' package.
