I was reading this article here:
https://mitchellh.com/writing/nix-with-dockerfiles...and decided to try and see how big an image 'just' containing htop would be - and it's actually massive. Honestly, Alpine + Musl still looks to be the better bet for this - it's hardly smaller...
I wonder if there is a musl/static Nix config? Like, use musl libc, prefer/compile only static binaries... In my own build, I could obviously also use UPX. But from a size perspective, I don't see the benefit of Nix over Alpine. o.o
