Nice !
Even, the keyword `run` seems more talkative than `procedure`.
However, I am a bit lost. Does this process still work?
process: sleep
packages "coreutils"
run '(begin (display "Sleeping...\n")
(system* "sleep" "10"))
For consistency, why not?
run # guile {
blah
}
And, is it better to declare explicitly "coreutils" as package input
when using bash?
Or implicitly? For example, if `run # python {}` is used then the
package input is implicitly python.
What do you think?
All the best,
simon
