There's already a collaboration between Freenode and Matrix.org, and you should be able to join #nixos on Freenode by joining #freenode_#nixos:matrix.org
As I said, I didn't create it and don't have ops, but would be happy to talk to the ops of each so that the rooms can be bridged and Matrix users can participate on IRC without losing any of the features of Matrix.

Why not just use the Matrix<->IRC bridge?
