   Participating in the Guile and Guix communities is one of the best choices I ever made. What a wonderful community; feels like home.

     @cwebber and guix and the stuff from spritely are getting me excited about guile.

     Tbh, I find the stuff spritely and guix are doing after some of the really hopeful points in tech atm. So thank you and your comrades!

     @cwebber I feel the same in the clojure community. I'm starting to settle into guix.

     @petrichor personally I love Guix and find it wonderful to use <3

     You should know that nonguix is often pretty necessary to get some hardware to work.

     Guix is great stuff tho! It's so much fun and the community is so lovely

     @cwebber I've been considering giving guix a more serious try. Do you have a feel for how it compares with nixos these days? Last time I checked guix seemed less well developed (i.e. fewer programs and services with integrated config) but also nix is an irritating language and its community has far more governance issues. I'm growing in appreciation for LISPs in my old age...
