I'm definitely interested in playing around with it. It might make an
interesting project in itself to see how close to completion we could bring
the project, though justifying a close marriage to Guix in that respect
might be difficult. I'm interested in the idea of entire distribution where
the tools at the user level are entirely (or primarily) configurable in a
functional language, and Guix the distribution seems like a good starting
point.
