Thanks, I'll be sure to post on HN when it is done. Guix is still pretty new, but there's also Nix in a similar space (but not Scheme). And it has certainly been a learning experience, in a very good sense!
You are welcome. I know about Nix, but investing six months to learning it are sadly offputting to me. Since i dabbled in Racket with HTDP (How to design programs), i'm pretty sure i'll have an easier time with Scheme. As an infovor myself, i cherish learning too. Looking forward to your article.
