Hello,
I saw this and the blog post about it just now. This is very
interesting!
I have started working on this on my own, in the hope of eventually
sharing something useful. However, I am a guile (and guix) novice and I
don't have plenty of time and my job is completely unrelated to
computers.
Hey Christopher and Ludovic,
First, congrats on the NLnet funding! I've wanted to see this project
happen for years so I'm excited to see it finally happening.

Hey Chris,
Congrats on getting the grant! I'm sure it will lead to a lot of
positive things. I tried it myself a couple years ago, for
the exact same subject, without success.

My old university email address started demanding a phone number to
"verify the security of my account", which was pretty funny considering
it never had a phone number to begin with, so I'm locked out of
that. Same GPG public key, though.

Yes. Specifically, actors here are a fiber together with a channel;
each actor looks like:
(let loop ((state …))
(match

Hi,
Really cool! Congrats Chris! :-)

Sounds exciting! I would like to help with
Hey!
I think this has been talked about for a while [1], but I want to make it
happen. Currently the guix-daemon is still similar to the nix-daemon
that it was forked from, and is implemented in C++. I think that a Guile
implementation of the guix-daemon will simplify Guix and better support
