Here's another good article on the topic

That is a 2.8 MB binary, compared to NixOS's 55 MB Perl distribution. Thus such Perl-less systems shrunk that dependency by 20x regarding activation switching. And since NixOS 25.11, `nixos-rebuild-ng` in Python replaces its former Perl counterpart, see https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nixos-rebuild https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nixos-rebuild
