Ryan, I totally agree. I can't believe that mess that is Rust cargo
and npm packages today, for example. And they start out as the next
new thing to solve all problems! If they would only would have used
Guix to create a coherent build system...
And then I spent a week's effort on a CMake build system, and CMake is
an ugly piece of work. I just kept thinking that if Guix was leveraged
you could have a really simple build generator written in Lisp... Now
wouldn't that be nice!
Pj.
