The key benefit with using a general-purpose programming language is
that you get all the tools (REPL, IDE, debugger, compiler, i18n, etc.),
and it makes the whole thing composable.
Composability means that it’s trivial to implement things like ‘guix
build --with-source’, or Nikita’s ‘guix prefetch’ command, or the
program that builds <http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/package-list.html>,
for example.
