That would be great. I'm very interested in the declarative OS space and Scheme would be way easier for me since i did HTDP with Kiczales. Gonna check out SUSEs microOS (their Silverblue equivalent) first i guess. Still looking forward to your article though. Stay open, keep learning.
- podiki 5y agoThanks, I'll be sure to post on HN when it is done. Guix is still pretty new, but there's also Nix in a similar space (but not Scheme). And it has certainly been a learning experience, in a very good sense!
- scns 5y agoYou are welcome. I know about Nix, but investing six months to learning it are sadly offputting to me. Since i dabbled in Racket with HTDP (How to design programs), i'm pretty sure i'll have an easier time with Scheme. As an infovor myself, i cherish learning too. Looking forward to your article.
- 1MachineElf 5y agoI too want to take a closer look at microOS. Like podiki's Guix setup here, microOS also installs to Btrfs and includes rollback features. Also, if you check the Guix blog, there are some novel steps they've taken towards using Guix for containerization. In theory, any containers developed on Guix would work well on top of microOS.
