Reposting because it looks like federation failed.

I was just reading about it, it sounds like a pretty cool OS and package manager. Has anyone actually used it?

    Wait how did you find out it was written in Scheme after you installed it? Sounds like someone didn’t do their research.

    Yes, I read all specs before installing anything I ever use. Before using the internet I researched the entire IP stack, studied computer science, and am right now using smokes signals captured by a camera at exactly 1 FPS to encode my bits so that you can read them.

    🙄

    One thing that Guix excels at.

      It’s literally in the front page of the project. https://guix.gnu.org/

      Hackable. It provides Guile Scheme APIs, including high-level embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) to define packages and whole-system configurations.

      No idea how you survive Nix’s scattered documentation.

        “provides Guile Scheme APIs”. Yeah, I provide this software in Slint. This software provides Linux APIs. This software provides HTTP APIs. kek

        What a helpful description.

        Nix’s documentation doesn’t try to invent a new way to say “this was written in $language” and has less members like you around. Much easier to deal with.
