I wonder if that's pretty much the on= ly choice for someone who needs precompiled code (because compiling a web b= rowser seems to take a long tome) > > Guix seems very interesting with Scheme and all but I had to go back to N= ixOS. =F0=9F=98=85 To mitigate the issue, instead of running full Guix System, you could just run Guix as a package manager on the top of NixOS. :-) Doing so, you can try Guix and what the Scheme offers without the issue you described. (I am running Guix on the top of Debian.) Thank you for your feedback. All the best, simon
