Your view may well be held by most Geiser users since the default is to NOT START a REPL ;-) > Moreover, even if you vision of default behaviour is right, I think you > should "attack" (in a good sense) Geiser to change the default value of > 'geiser-mode-start-repl-p' variable that you discovered. I wouldn't argue this to the Geiser maintainers because I _don't feel qualified_ to comment as a Geiser user ;-) OTOH, I _do feel qualified_ to comment as a _new Guix user_ ;-) More specifically, a _new Guix user with no prior Geiser/Guile experience_ but whom is weirdly sympathetic to the Guix enterprise, possibly as a result of having written a masters thesis on Maclisp/PDP-10/ITS. I can say definitively that it would have made Guix easier for me to start using if you started the 3rd REPL automatically ;-) Meanwhile, I have put '(setq geiser-mode-start-repl-p t)' in my emacs init file. I will be sure to let you know when I remove it ;-)
