Thanks. Your revised syntax looks so much cleaner. I'm interested in learning Guix because I was hoping the syntax would be cleaner than Nix's. From a dev ops perspective Nix/Guix is the way to go. To me, the syntax plays a great part in coming up to speed and trying new stuff without going back to the manual.
My understanding is that Guix is 7 years in the making (at least) so is there even a remote possibility that syntax revisions like the one above will be considered?
- neilv 7y agoI don't know anything about Guix itself yet, but you could ask the developers. Scheme is great as an imperative (or declarative) configuration language, because the language is super-powerful, yet small and elegant. So many configuration languages end up being ad-hoc.
