GNU Guix Channel with Babel

GNU Guix Channel with Babel

[jgart]

Hi, has anyone tried to create a GNU Guix channel as org babel file(s)
that get untangled and serve a dual purpose as a blog describing the
channel packages, reasons for packaging them, etc?

The blog would get generated and published via HTTP and/or gemini.

I've thought about doing this for Channel definitions, and also for packages in my own channel.

One thing that struck me is Skribilio might be a more interesting literate format, given its written in Guile too.

IMHO, using S-exps for blogging is not a very good idea.  Because you
lose the readability of plain text.  That's why I prefer Org.  Anyway,
if you really need to use Guile to process your literate documents, run
Org on Guile Emacs, which runs Emacs Lisp on Guile.
