Hi, Simon, all,

As promised, I have retaken this project :-)
Sorry for the delay in writing.

I am preparing my proposal. I will send it in the next few days.

I am currently checking current guix importers, and their documentation.
In particular, I have been reading the source code from the Python and
Haskell importers.

I am also checking Jelle Licht's 2016 GSoC project (the npm importer).
From what I understand, Jelle's code was never merged back into guix.
As I'm trying to learn from the past, could anyone please ellaborate
on why was that code never merged?

Regarding packaging clojupyter... I understand that I will need at
least one full application to eventually test the importer. That being
said... is there any particular value in packaging clojupyter? Could
you please name a few "essential" Clojure projects you would like to
see packaged for guix?

Thanks,
Leandro

I think Clojupyter would be nice to have.  One could then run:

  guix environment --ad-hoc jupyter clojupyer -- jupyter notebook

to spawn a Clojure-enabled notebook.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Circular dependencies on a large scale. We don't really have an answer
for that.
