Hi Florian, > Why is nix using symlinks to link files in the nix store? > Would switching to hardlinks break something?
why do you think that hardlinks would be preferable? It is easy to determine where a symlink points to, but it's expensive to determine that for a hardlink. That information is oftentimes relevant, though, i.e. when analyzing run-time dependencies between store paths.
