Guix 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 2y ago> quite hostile to any implementation on non-Linux platforms Guix has a usable Hurd implementation, which is a "non-Linux platform".
- Y_Y 2y 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 2y 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...
