Any thoughts on Guix as compared with Nix? I've tinkered a bit with Nix, including running NixOS for a bit on my laptop, but quite like the lispy languages in comparison.
- colordrops 4y agoI found out about guix after already investing in nix. Looks great, and better in many ways, but I'm more familiar with Haskell syntax than lisp, and my understanding is that the nix ecosystem is far more developed.
- tlavoie 4y agoGood to know, thanks! It does seem to have more packages and such for sure, and more traction among Haskell crowd I think from the bit I've seen. Either way, I am more inclined currently to use packages on top of a base Linux distro, so suspect I can mess around more without committing to either for now.
