Ya, the best case here is that we end up with another implementation with its own benefits. I think that the existence of Guix and tvix (and others?) is beneficial, and the overarching idea of Nix is too big and useful to silo into just one project with one direction in mind.
- KingMob 3y agoGuix is cool, and I like Lisps, but it has very different goals, unfortunately. Culturally, it's quite hostile to any implementation on non-Linux platforms, and I use nix-darwin. I agree the ideas behind nix should spread to how we build software in general.
- rekado 3y ago> quite hostile to any implementation on non-Linux platforms Guix has a usable Hurd implementation, which is a "non-Linux platform".
- Y_Y 3y agoFunny you should mention that. I've been trying to use it for a while, but the link on the Guix website to get a Hurd-based VM image is broken and I haven't been able to generate it myself.
- rekado 3y agoOn any Guix System you can use the childhurd service or generate a disk image. More details here: https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/childhurds-and-substitutes/ https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/childhurds-and-substitutes...
