- agumonkey 10y agoDo you do fancy logic through Guix or is it "only" the build system ?
- davexunit 10y agoNot sure what fancy logic you have in mind. It's a package manager so I have it build packages for me. I also use 'guix environment' as an RVM/Bundler replacement. Guix "just" builds the packages for me, but I am able to package things with much greater speed than with traditional package managers and the resulting binaries are bit-reproducible.
- agumonkey 10y agoSaying that using guix isn't exactly the same as using guile; even if Guix is a good lever to help your large project.
- davexunit 10y agoThe project required writing plenty of Scheme code to describe the package recipes. A very non-trivial amount. Why are you so adamant to dismiss what I've done?
- agumonkey 10y agoIt's both non negative[1] and non personal, just an intellectual distinction to avoid giving credit to the wrong object: a language or a tool written in this language. Hoping you're not offended anymore. [1] I am in no position to criticize anyone this way, and I wouldn't do it anyway.
