All of the scheme your heart could want. I run archlinux + guix and it's a magical happy land. I'm sure the same could be accomplished with nix, but I enjoy writing scheme too much!
- smilliken 11y agoI've watched a few talks on guix, and there's lots to like. I recall there's supposed to be compatibility between nix and guix, but can't remember the details. Are they going to share package expressions, have a transpiler, or something like this?
- codemac 11y agoThey both use the same daemon (guix-builder is a fork of nix-builder), so I think they could share packages given the hashing is the same. This hypothetical has not been implemented yet, I'd love it. Their is an importer[0], but this is basic and just grabs the package metadata, it's up to the packager to implement the package still. Hopefully this is further automated in the future. [0]: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-guix-import.html https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-...
