Thanks for taking the time to send it! I really don't have much room to talk about the guix or guile community, because I'm not a contributer, at all. My 2 cents are: I personally dislike that saying "guys" on IRC is frowned upon. In my personal life I use "guys" when I'm talking to a group of people, even if some are women. Are there women in the guix community that are offended by the use of "guys"? And I did not really know how Mark H. Weaver responded to you, but it sounds like you expected him to answer many of your questions. I have had a prominent free software developer gently tell me that I just need to read the man page. That he doesn't have time to answer all of my questions. I would not describe that as toxic behavior. And I would agree that Ludo is amazing! He is exceedingly active in the guix community. He answers almost ALL emails! He's even answered some of mine, and sometimes I did not get back to him. And he will still answer any questions that I have. The man is a legend!
