FYI: Ludovic aka [email protected] starded a project implementing nix package definitions in scheme/guile: https://gitorious.org/guix Guix is Nix from Guile! Concretely, it allows Nix package management to be done entirely in Scheme. The goal is to investigate whether Scheme, and in particular the ability to define EDSLs, would allow it to fulfill the role of the Nix language. -- http://shelr.tv - plain text screencasts for unix ninjas
