Part of the fun in Guix is that it conflates and blurs boundaries, the
package descriptions, the dmd init system and the package manager are all
written in Guile and can be loaded into the same REPL.

Guix is the package manager _and_ the packages.
Like the Debian system is not just dpkg; Guix should be compared to
Debian, not dpkg/apt.
