I used both Guix and Nix and found both their languages okay for the use-case. Nix was slightly better, since it's easier to format automatically than Lisp.

- anthk 8mo ago>Easier to format automatically than Lisp You wish. Emacs did that for free since the 80's.
- arikrahman 8mo agoYes, I found init.el even more straight forward than nix and even home packages.
- anthk 8mo agoEmacs has Geiser to edit Scheme/Guile code with ease. For sure Emacs users know how to handle Scheme which is just another Lisp (even MIT Scheme bundles an old Emacs release) and have at least partial knowledge of Common Lisp (and being able to grasp it in minutes).
