That's a really nice site, but I couldn't find an english version.
(IIRC, there used to be one that I would read a lot, but that was quite some time ago).
The article was detailed and illustrated with many links -- kudos to the author.
In contrast, my favorite place for linux news just did a quote with a link:
https://lwn.net/Articles/817597/
(But it's early yet, we'll see).

Indeed!
However, the significance of what's happening isn't registering
with some readers (not limited to heise.de readers, or German),
judging from these comments to the article:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GNU Guix ist ein funktionaler Paketmanager
OK, mich würde jetzt mal ein Paketmanager interessieren, der nichtfunktional ist?!
Kann der Artikelautor ein konkretes Beispiel nennen?
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If by "nichtfunktional" he really means concrete programming source syntax,
I will confess to some sympathy, as when trying to grok a really gnarly gexp :)
But then to syntax preferences no end there is ;)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Ich setze das Original ein: NixOS
NixOS hat das Konzept der funktionalen Beschreibung eines
(Linux-)Systems meines Wissens das erste Mal praktisch einsetzbar umgesetzt.
Guix SD ist aus meiner Sicht einfach nur ein Klon. Mir ist das Original lieber.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I am not familiar with NixOS, but I have the impression (CMIAW) that guix
goes *much* further beyond any NixOS origins than that commenter believes.
Anyway, guix is cool :)
