There’s this longstanding issue with distributing Guile code, and this seems to be a good approach. In particular, that it’s not a Guix-only solution, while at the same time offering Guix support is really a wise choice. I think we should advertise it widely, it’ll be immensely helpful to newcomers. When the manual is more complete ;-), we could refer to it from guile.texi, too. I wonder if it would be useful to have a “standalone” mode, where Hall would rely neither on Autoconf/Automake nor on Guix to do basic things like building code. It might help newcomers. You wouldn’t want to reimplement everything though, so I don’t know if this is a viable approach. Thoughts? Thank you! Ludo’.
