Hi,
I saw a presentation on GNU Guix at FOSDEM this year. It's a package
manager with a guile interface. It seems it takes cares of a lot of
things and allows for neatly self-contained packages.
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/
Maybe it could be used for to manage pre-built emacs modules? I was
wondering if emacs-devel has any opinions on this.
Cheers,

What pre-built Emacs modules are you refering to?
Guix builds everything from source in an isolated environment (it does
not link with libraries that happen to be installed on the system).

native binaries that can be loaded in emacs.

dynamic modules don't link against the system emacs but against the
libs they want to expose. ELPA is made for emacs lisp modules and
cannot be used for dynamic modules. I mean it could, but I don't think
we want to go there.
