@cwebber well, i'm probably installing a desktop linux distro in the near future, so i'll probably give you a chance to sell me on this sometime soon D:
@cwebber@mcc every once in a while consider switching from Nixos, but I don't know how how software availability compares, and community support. I have no doubt that guile is more attractive than nix-the-language, but don't know whether it's actually worth the extra effort.
Today, it is about 92% unknown... the two build farms have a fair amount of catching up to do after the core-updates merge.
"guix" itself is not particularly reproducible, due to non-determinism with parallelism in guile. Parallelism in the Debian package of guix is disabled so is reproducible there, at least!
Would be good to see how much of the #bootstrap is bit-for-bit reproducible!

@mcc yup. it's reproducible++. We finally have an operating-system wide path out from the famous Thompson "trusting trust" attack!
