      @veer66 @skoll3 Docker allows some dedup by basing images on other images, so at least the "whole operating system" bit is often not a huge deal. All dependencies beyond the base system will usually be repeated several times in different images, though.
      
      Nix also does per-file hard link dedup, so even if each library -- and even several derivations of the exact same version of a library, but with different versions of its dependencies -- may have its own directory, a lot of space can be saved by running `nix optimise-store` or including `auto-optimise-store = true` in nix.conf.
