You should use nix if you like taking up a lot of disk space

That’s a rabbit hole I have yet to explore. Why does nix take up so much disk space?

You download all dependencies. Even if its already on your system. Because the dependencoes for nix are hashed to exact binaries.

Oh yeah, that’s to make the builds reproducible or something?

Yup. Hashes all the way down

I `cargo clean` more often than I wash my hands :D
