French text is somewhere around 10-30% longer than the corresponding English text. I would guess much of what you save on smaller vocabulary is lost on the lengthened text.

A solution to this is apptainer: you configure it to not see any of the host files by default, and mount the repo you want to work on at runtime.

Well, the program would still halt upon memory flaw, so there would still be a need to fix it
Re:A Note on Fil-C

I suppose /some/ performance loss is inevitable. But this could be quite a game changer. As more folks play with it, performing benchmarks, etc -- it should reveal which C idioms incur the most/least performance hits under Fil-C. So with some targetted patching of C code, we may end up with a rather modest price for the memory safety

It seems they are using zstd now for .conda packages, eg, bzip is obsoleted, so that should be faster.

It would be nice indeed if there was a good solution to multi-gigabyte conda directories. Conda has been reproducible in my experience with pinned dependencies in the environment YAML... slow to build, sure, but reproducible.

conda is also (in)famous for being slow at this, although the new mamba solver is much faster. What does uv do in order to resolve dependencies much faster?

Indeed, my first thought is the best place to run this is on an OpenWRT router. Perhaps as a package, or a builtin feature?
