I'm not a scheme/guile expert just curious, what's the downside to depending upon guix? Just because for my Guile code, I prefer to depend only on Guile itself: I want to make my scripts always work, even if a system I use doesn't have anything installed, except of Guile. I use the same "policy" for my Emacs config: I use several dozens of external packages, but my config doesn't require them, it works even if only Emacs is installed (without any external packages). -- Alex
