@mic92 it also increases the checkout size of nixpkgs by 10MB

```
> find -name Cargo.lock | xargs du | awk 'BEGIN { OFS="\t" }{s += $1} END { print s }'
9436
```

@zimbatm @mic92 I don't think this is true, what count is compressed size, right?

@zimbatm @mic92 We definitely need better automated tooling wrt. nixpkgs performance regressions.

Looking at the PR history, the CPU time and repo size have been evaluated in the process, it's not an oversight but a measurement mistake.

@fgaz @zimbatm @mic92

It's going, but hydra will be a huge road blocker. We discussed needing a hydra team so we can do the more substantive work needed to bring these new features to it.

@Ericson2314 @fgaz @zimbatm not so confident there are many volunteers that want to deal with a arcane perl code base that has a lot of responsibilities.

@mic92 @Ericson2314 @fgaz @zimbatm So, maybe rewrite it in another language .. like tcl? ;)

@wamserma @mic92 @Ericson2314 @zimbatm I think a project like hydra would benefit more from a language with strong static types *cough* #Haskell *cough*

The builder scripts on the other hand...

@fgaz @wamserma @zimbatm @mic92 it's actually mainly the C++ that needs more review. I think @grahamc is well up to speed on the Perl + I don't need to change it, so that's fine for the moment.

@zimbatm nix-direnv has gcroots on inputs. Maybe direnv now should have them too.
