In that case, wouldn't a Guile-specific package manager count as yet
another tool to be learned? Wouldn't using a single package manager
(Guix) for everything -- Emacs, Guile, Racket, Python, C stuff ...,
instead of learning a new language-specific package manager every time
you use a new language? As such, I cannot reconcile your ‘I agree’
with your explanation, your explanation would seem better fitting with
‘I disagree’.
Anyway, there's already a Scheme package manager, e.g.
https://akkuscm.org/ (supports Racket, Guile, Chibi, ...) and
http://snow-fort.org/, so if we go for a Scheme-specific package
manager anyway, I'd rather avoid reinventing the wheel if possible.
Warning: I've never tried any of these Scheme package managers.
I don't know if they are good.
Greetings,
Maxime.
