Including code in a non-Guile language into Guix

Hello everyone,

My name is Evan Cooney. I use GNU Guix but I'm pretty new to it, I'm also
not a professional, I mostly program for fun and I'm mostly self-taught. I
was watching some videos about software performance and optimization, which
brought to mind that, at least on my computer, guix package commands
(particularly search, install, and remove) run much slower than the
equivalents on other distros I've used. I know that Guix is mainly written
in Guile, but has much thought gone into optimizing these commands by
rewriting some of the code in a more performance-oriented language like C?
Guile is designed for interoperability with C code, and many other GNU
programs (gcc, coreutils, gdb, bash, etc.) are written in C or similar
languages. C is also more widely taught and known than Guile, so adding C
might help bring developers to Guix. I would love to try to work on
optimizing the performance of these commands and any help would
be appreciated.

Thanks,
Evan Cooney
