Ever since I figured out how to build static executables for code, I've being deploying all my Haskell projects as static binaries. I can't believe how much disk space it saves in some cases. The SSG that builds my website used to take more than 5GB; now it takes about 80MB!

Screenshot of a terminal with text:

> nix path-info -Sh (nix-build --quiet nix/release.nix)
/nix/store/84vc1j299cf1578kspj7075kfhhl4ffa-site-1.0.0    5.4G
> nix path-info -Sh (nix-build --quiet --arg static true nix/release.nix)
