as much respect as I have for Guile, I'd love the nix configuration language to have at least partially enforced types...

- agumonkey 5y agotime for hix .. and lets revive http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/299 http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/299
- eadmund 5y agoIt really is a pity that Guix didn't go for Common Lisp instead — it does allow for gradual typing. And it has standardised a ton of stuff that Guile had to implement on an ad hoc basis.
- dannyobrien 5y agoHonestly, I kind of like how Guix and Guile have been growing together. Like Rust and Servo (and the Rust compiler), I think the constraint of having a general-purpose language, but a general purpose language that is also responsive to a bigger project, has been beneficial to both.
