It is heartening to see folks concerned about being lightweight. I keep running out of space on my 32GB Debian 9 VM because every time I cargo build or npm install I feel like I am downloading all of the internet and generating more of it locally. And then docker build creates a few "diff-only" container images that need another 32GB of attached storage of their own.
