NP. I appreciate what you did write ;-)

Your view may well be held by most Geiser users since the default is to
NOT START a REPL ;-)

I wouldn't argue this to the Geiser maintainers because I _don't feel
qualified_ to comment as a Geiser user ;-)

OTOH, I _do feel qualified_ to comment as a _new Guix user_ ;-)

More specifically, a _new Guix user with no prior Geiser/Guile
experience_ but whom is weirdly sympathetic to the Guix enterprise,
possibly as a result of having written a masters thesis on
Maclisp/PDP-10/ITS.

I can say definitively that it would have made Guix easier for me to
start using if you started the 3rd REPL automatically ;-)

Meanwhile, I have put '(setq geiser-mode-start-repl-p t)' in my emacs
init file. I will be sure to let you know when I remove it ;-)
