@janneke @ArneBab i would almost rather a migration to guix, than a debian fork, at least in the long run

i realize it is not quite the same purpose, but i would imagine a spiritual successor, with fixed release cycle, using guix as upstream, would benefit from the superior technical underpinning and have lower maintenance burden

obviously does not solve the funding problem, but it should cost less time and also benefit from the work already being done in guix itself. the projects are also mostly aligned philosophically at least from my pov

@czhang03 @daviwil @lanodan @adriano @cwebber So named because nobody can figure out how to exit the REPL

@daviwil @cwebber ~Mom~ Chromium: We got Scheme at home!

the 'Scheme': `[1, 2, 3] + [4, 5, 6];`
`// -> '1,2,34,5,6'`

@daviwil @civodul I've wondered the same -- just looking at the size of say crates.scm or emacs-xyz.scm, at first blush they seem like good candidates for separate channels. Like https://github.com/babariviere/guix-emacs could be a good way to handle emacs, which iirc is managed by a specific Team in guix already.

But I also worry about cross dependencies, need to migrate packages from one channel to another, duplicate definitions, etc etc. Does it solve more problems than it creates?
