I think it would make sense to have sections like =E2=80=9CDeveloping in language X or framework Y with Guix=E2=80=9D. It would be useful because it would answer probably some of the main questions for newcomers (=E2=80=9Cho= w do I need to adjust my workflow when I switch to Guix?=E2=80=9D). Cheers, Ludo=E2=80=99.
