  It's not a reinvention, it's a fork: "Guix is based on the Nix package manager." [https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/guix/ https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/guix/] (More info here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-07/msg00006.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-07/msg000..., taken from icebraining below)

    I'm not sure it's even a fork. It appears to plug a different backend/frontend into the nix structure, so it appears to be a "patch", for want of a better word. (at least that's what I gleaned from http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guile/guix-ghm-2012.20120721.pdf http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guile/guix-ghm-2012.201...)

  According to the site of the project, "Guix is based on the Nix package manager."
