Looks cool but I wish it were available with other package managers than guix :'( It makes a kinda hard to try out just for fun.

If you just want to try it out you can compile it from source, see <https://www.gnu.org/software/artanis/manual/manual.html#org35b0f0a https://www.gnu.org/software/artanis/manual/manual.html#org3...>.

  I know, not an amazing alternative imo as they're also saying it takes a long time. I just wish I didn't need to be all in into Guix to easily play around with such projects, which aside from that, look really cool.

    Did you catch that page there aside from the manual, where they describe how to install it on Ubuntu? https://artanis.dev/blog/build-0.6-ubuntu.html https://artanis.dev/blog/build-0.6-ubuntu.html it seems quite detailed, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to get through. Otherwise, you don't have to change OS to run guix the package manager, it can be installed on a "foreign distro", i.e., on top of Debian, or something else. Details here https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Installation.html https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Installation.html You would then use your "guix" command at the terminal to download any of the 29,253 packages here https://packages.guix.gnu.org/ https://packages.guix.gnu.org/ (or just artanis).

    They say it takes a long time to build Guile, the Scheme compiler, not Artanis. I can build guile in less than 2 minutes on my old laptop.

      On my POWER9 system it took 45 minutes.

It's available on AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/artanis https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/artanis (bit outdated though)

You can use guix on any GNU/Linux distro afaik. If you create a guix profile for a project, it should be fairly simple to use that to install artanis. With guix time-machine you can also make reproducible setups, to ensure you can run your stuff years later. But the most basic use of installing artanis in the default profile should also work. Where do you see the difficulties installing artanis with guix?
