NixOS lets you specify networks for wpa_supplicant declaratively:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-networking.wireless.networks"/> = {
echelon = {
echelon = { # SSID with no spaces or special characters
psk = "abcdefgh";
};
"free.wifi" = {};
"echelon's AP" = { # SSID with spaces and/or special characters
psk = "ijklmnop";
};

psk = "qrstuvwx";
};
free.wifi = {}; # Public wireless network
};
</programlisting>
