FWIW, I wish we had an alternative to Guix and autotools for pure-scheme packages, which don't need all that complication (and that i would love to see becoming the norm, with that pretty FFI of ours). Something like, say, leiningen (or elpa, raco, rebar3, cargo, gobuild, elpa, cabal...). For context: https://gitlab.com/a-sassmannshausen/guile-hall/-/issues/51 I'd call it "wile", packages would live in "the wilery" (wilery.org is free) and wile.scm would probably use a simplified dorodango syntax... and i'd even work on it. But my feeling is that the community is heavily invested in autotools and Guix as /the/ build system (and very happily so!) and i don't have the evangelising chops/time :) Cheers, jao -- Nature uses as little as possible of anything. -Johannes Kepler, astronomer (1571-1630)
