Video of the interview with #guix founder @civodul is available. A great chat about the #nix deployment model, his interested in #guile and #free software. Lots of interesting chat about motivation in #freesoftware, #gnu and #linux - as well as the Plan9-ification of Guix!!

#guix is similar to #nix but uses #lisp #scheme language for declaring the #linux environment.

New post in the #Guix packaging series! All about how inputs (libraries and utilities) that are needed to build a package are defined. Covers inputs, native-inputs and propagated-inputs. And, how to create your own package variants using modify-inputs - we slim down Weechat by 50% as a worked example 🎆

Not sure about how it compares to #nix, but for #guix this is a key area of packaging - hope all the examples make sense!

Clojure packages in Guix are AOT compiled. I'm proposing to change the default to *off*. This is because Clojure's AOT ABI is not guaranteed: so versions of libraries built by one version of Java may not work with another from what I understand. Got a view? Would love comment on guix-devel:
