From the homepage: "QBE is in constant change. It is a young project
and I still have many ideas to try." As always, I don't think it's too
good of an idea to package projects that tell you "this edge will make
you bleed". Or in the words of the manual

I think upstream is very clear here that QBE is not yet stable and
therefore not something you'd want in a distro. Of course, since the
recipe is a rather simple one, you can easily maintain it in your own
channel -- or not package it at all and use it from source with just a
C compiler.

You should be able to add qemu to native-inputs if that's all it takes.

It'd be nice if the description was more descriptive :)
Also the synopsis should probably not invert the ordering of "compiler"
and "backend".

Hi lilyp,
Thanks for the review. It's much appreciated.
Here's a recent talk from FOSDEM 2022 on qbe by Drew Devault in case
you're interested in finding out more about it:
https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/lg_qbe/
I already have qbe in Guix 'R Us along with cproc:
https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/guixrus/tree/master/item/guixrus/packages/qbe.scm#L43
If maintainers think it will be ready for Guix in the future ping me or
feel free to send an update as you see fit.
all best,
jgart

QBE is now being used in one reasonably mature project: https://harelang.org https://harelang.org/
While it's not at 1.0 yet, it's been in development for ~2 (i think) years now.

I'm not asking for a 1.0, I'd be fine with a 0.1 or even a 0.0.1. As
it stands, every place I look at says "this is experimental" rather
than "you can use this and it ought to work as intended at least for
these sample programs".

Ah, I think you misunderstood slightly: I was saying that Hare was not yet at 1.0 yet (although QBE isn't either.) Regardless, I think it is mature enough for Guix, especially as a stable programming language uses it now.
By the way, https://c9x.me/compile is really outdated, so its estimate on QBE's stability is probably inaccurate by now.

But that’s fine: having a web page at all, or one that doesn’t read
“experimental”, has never been a criterion for getting a package in
Guix.
There’s now a second patch for qbe:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55151
I propose to go ahead and apply it, adding anything missing from paren’s
initial patch.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

That's not my criterion either. My critierion is more or less "Will we
have to revision-bump this package daily/every few days because people
want to play with the latest stuff?" With upstream having seen no
commit for three weeks at this point, I guess it might be fine.

IMHO, paren's initial patch is slightly better in quality than 55151,
but there are two (three) things lacking. First, the synopsis and
description are subpar. 55151 has a slightly better synopsis, don't
feel too sure about the description though. Second, the "fix-cc" phase
from 55151 should be added after unpack ("patch-test-script" sounds
like a better phase name). It might be better to use (cc-for-target)
in the substitution rather than gcc, but note that this substitution
only applies for native compilation anyway.
cproc too seems to grow at a slower pace now. Might be worth moving
stuff over from guixrus now. Note that the cproc package has #:tests
#f without an explanation, though, so it needs some polishing.
Cheers
