Oh, this is great!  I've actually been putting together a small Guix
guide here:
https://gitlab.com/rendaw/blog/blob/master/how_to_guix_for_those_who_dont.md

It has a small Guile primer, but it doesn't go into depth or have any
hands on examples like yours.  My goal was to cover just enough so that
people could understand Guix configs (or at least 90% of them), so no
recursion, etc.  I'm glad you got into records, I just kind of handwaved
that away ("they're functions", not 100% sure this is correct either).
