I’ve previously compared Guix and Nix for the crowd at Hacker News:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23529932
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19809366

It’s not much of a sales pitch, but a comparison to allow people to
distinguish the two projects and to dispell the terribly mistaken notion
of Guix as merely a “GNU fork of Nix”.
