coming from common lisp (and SBCL in particular), i think the lowest hanging fruit in the guile debugging experience is making sure that backtraces are not cut short when printed.
i tried multiple ways to configure the printer to acquire more info, but it didn't react to anything i tried:
(setenv "COLUMNS" "300")
(debug-set! width 160)
(debug-set! depth 1000)
this is regularly causing me frustration when all i need to make progress is in the cut off part of the backtrace, and the code in question is in a part of the codebase that i can't easily change to add some good old printf's.
which reminds me that a project-wide logging infrastructure would also greatly elevate the guix debugging experience.

If you never heal from what hurt you, you'll bleed on people who didn't cut you.
