Hi!

Definitely, but I think the JSON API is a means, not an end, so what
matters is what we’ll build with it.
Example that comes to mind: debbugs.el could use it for features Debbugs
lacks; we could have a client Scheme module and a command-line tool to
perform certain query, with the goal of being able to do things like:
guix review apply 1234
guix review search bioinformatics
…
That could be a game-changer.
Of course we should start small and focus on specific features such as
searching, listing, and retrieving.

Ricardo may know the answer. :-)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
