### What we like

Tooling makes it easy to create reproducible builds. Include runtime dependencies and publish packages that are ready to execute. Everything runs in a sandbox. Package output can include configs, docs, examples, bundled ready to run.

### Tradeoffs

You must specifically build, package, and publish for every system architecture.
