For example: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (employee (age 30) (name "Foo") (profession "Teacher")) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to use this feature in my software. However, I don't want to have Guix as a dependency only for that. For now, I've copied the content of (guix records) into (my-software records). But this put burden of maitenance into my hands. Thus, I'm looking for an alternative, perhaps there's a Guile library (other than Guix' module) or a SRFI that offers similar feature? -- Olivier Dion PolyMtl
