So it's a Scheme layer on top of Nix?

• taylanub 12y ago
  On top of the Nix daemon certainly, though not Nix as a whole, which has its own package recipe language etc.

  To some degree, yes. Guix is compatible with the low-level Nix package format, and it currently uses the upstream Nix daemon. Everything else has been replaced. Guix uses its own client-side and build-side code. The Nix language is replaced entirely with Guile Scheme, build scripts are Guile programs instead of shell scripts, the UI is different, etc.
