> Guile is base Scheme plus some SRFIs plus some more extensions. None of this is useful outside the Guix bubble, because it is not really used for anything outside that bubble.
"idiotic sloganeering argumentation"?
> honest technical comparison
let me spell it out for you in another way
nix is developed in cpp (which itself is a huge collection of dsls) and you use its own (poorly documented) dsl to interact with it
guix is developed in guile and you use guile to interact with it
this alone implies that you get far more from just learning guile than nix dsl if all you want to do is package management
as for a one to one technical comparison, it is just a google search away: https://gist.github.com/abcdw/e54807b0a25e61fe2cf1bf8991410f...
>I suppose pointing at a hundred Texmacs users who picked it up after being exposed to Guix would prove me wrong, but good luck with that.
you keep sloganeering that guile is useless outside of guix. i find it pretty funny how willing you are to twist the picture of reality in order for it to fit your world view. i already pointed you to another significant project that uses guile. here is the part in their documentaion spelling out their choice for guile: https://spritely.institute/static/papers/spritely-core.html#...
as for texmacs, i dont know where you are pulling your numbers from, but i for one used texmacs for writing papers before even considering taking on software development professionally. so please don't be triggered if i dont take your claim at face value
