Yes, that would be the idea. You here and and your relatives (1) are way
further up the curve, of course, so I'm greatly encouraged by getting
what seems to be a "sounds reasonable" reply from you. This thing has
just migrated from the "crazy fantasy" to the "important side project"
stage for me.

I reckon that it will take me some years to learn how to build what I
can now only describe, but I also know why I want to spend the time: I
plan to use computers for decades more; I figured out that most of my
problems with them might be solvable by freedom, statelessness, and
homoiconicity; and Guix offers exactly these features. This makes it
seem worth the investment.

Thanks for your work. Thanks to all of you here. I believe that Guix
matters, so carry on, please.
