> "Guix...uses the Nix daemon" and "to extend the reach of Scheme to the daemon" are incompatible and I hope you see why. These are not incompatible statements. Guix uses an older version of the Nix daemon that has diverged from Nix mainline. As Schemers we prefer to hack on Scheme things, so we're halfway through writing the missing glue to use existing Scheme tools in place of the C++ daemon. > Patches aren't flowing from Guix to Nix They cannot because Guix is not a fork of Nix. Guix is an implementation of functional package management as pioneered by Nix. (As to your claims about Nix and Scheme: I'm not going to bite.)
