The Nixpkgs-provided helpers can be found in the Nixpkgs manual.

Elisp

emacs2nix

Erlang

hex2nix
nix-rebar3 Builds rebar3 projects, without any Nix code generation.

Go

go2nix
dep2nix
For go 1.11+ modules: vgo2nix
gomod2nix

Haskell

cabal2nix
haskell-overridez - Simplify usage of nix dependencies during haskell development
snack

JavaScript / Node.js

node2nix, Recommend for use in nixpkgs
napalm, Imports package-lock.json into nix directly
yarn-based (carry the same name but different implementations), yarn is a drop-in for `npm`:
- yarn2nix by moretea
- yarn2nix by Profpatsch
- yarn-plugin-nixify by stephank
bower2nix

Python

poetry2nix - poetry2nix turns Poetry projects into Nix derivations without the need to actually write Nix expressions.
nixpkgs-pytools - semi-automated way to add python packages to nixpkgs.
pynixify - Create a nixpkgs overlay with human-readable expressions for each package
pip2nix - Generate nix expressions for Python packages.

Abandoned / discontinued:

pypi2nix - Generate Nix expressions for Python packages
python2nix
nix-pip
mach-nix - Create reproducible python environments from `requirements.txt` (using Nix)

Ruby

bundix

Rust

naersk Pure nix, works well with dependencies from crates.io. Builds rust crates dependencies in one derivation and the crate itself in another.
crate2nix Uses `buildRustCrate` from `nixpkgs` to build all dependencies independently. Either check in the generated build file or use it via "import from derivation".
cargo2nix Uses a `mkCrate` wrapper around Cargo and `rustc` to build all dependencies independently. Supports cross-compilation, alternative registries, and `nix-shell` integration.
crane Builds rust crate dependencies in one derivation and the crate itself in another. Boilerplate setup for running test suites.
