I'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.

I'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?

They 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.
