GNU 0.401 (aka. GNU/Hurd) was just released [0], along with an ISO based on Debian GNU/Hurd [1]. I think this new GNU release deserves a NixOS-based distro so I plan to adapt the ISO image module in NixOS to GNU/Hurd. Fortunately GNU/Hurd can already be cross-built from Nixpkgs [2] so it should be easy to adjust.
Excellent!
Once NixOS GNU/Hurd is stable, I plan to incrementally replace Nix (the implementation, and then the language) by something based on Guile Scheme
This is unnecessary. Just the other day I was talking with Rob about bootstrapping Nix in Nix, since any serious language can build itself. This shouldn't be too hard to do, and the performance impact should be relatively negligible.
