Looks like the build system was ready for production after all. Maybe a maintainer / commiter can take a look into this and guide us to the= final inclusion in guix? Efraim, can you please take a look, this have been sitting for a while (hal= f a year :( ) and it looks like it starts to have some interests. I'm not sure about the cross-compilation yet, even though I tried it and wo= rked properly, but the native one seems to be ready. Also this might be a great opportunity. We can attract some people from the= Zig community as they don't really have a Zig package manager yet (they ar= e building one!) and Felix and I will push Guix a little bit in their commu= nity (right Felix? :)) Thanks all for your work.
