Re: How do I install neovim plugins?
Well perhaps I will try your home manager and we can even improve it
I want to spend some time learning Guix - I think highly
composable/customizable software is what many organizations desire and is the
area that is underserved - because many software vendors are not interested,
half-interested with ulterior motives, or outright against it
GNU Guix seems to address both philosophical and technological shortcomings of
our society.

I see some vim plugin packages for guix but I have no idea how I
enable them in the neovim (nvim) that I installed in Guix.
In NixOS I just used "home manager" and modified some existing
template I found to add more plugins.
Re: How do I install neovim plugins?
Hello Yasu, I use a manifest file and guix-package -m to do declarative installations. I find it strikes a nice balance between having to rebuild for every configuration change and making my environment declarative. Good luck! - John

I agree, this is very imperative, but since we don't have an equivalent of the
home manager (except for my channel which is not very popular because I don't
recommend it for everyday use), this the kind of thing we usually do.
Actually, the most popular in guix is rather to set some *PATH environment
variable, sometimes even patching the software to honor them. But we don't have
any for neovim.
The equivalent of your home.nix example would be:
(user-home
neovim-home-type
(neovim-confiquration
(plugins (list neovim-airline neovim-nix
(Assuming we actually have these packages)
The guix home manager follows the spirit of functionnal management closer than
the nix home manager, because itqmakes your entire home a symlink to a store
path, whereas nix home only overwrites some files that can later be modified
imperatively (by you or a software). That makes it harder to use and breaks
many software, but is much more satisfying :)

Re: How do I install neovim plugins?
Hi Julien,
Thank you for the pointer, here is what I did to make it work:
set runtimepath+=/home/yasu/.guix-profile/share/vim/vimfiles
The plugin and neovim were installed as below:
guix package --install=vim-airline
guix package --install=nvim
But this seems rather "imperative" and is not what I expected to do,
after spending many weeks trying home-manager from NixOS :-)
excerpt from .config/nixpkgs/home.nix
...
programs.neovim = {
enable = true;
plugins = [
pkgs.vimPlugins.vim-airline
pkgs.vimPlugins.vim-nix
];
...
In the Nix world, I think people were not seeing much point of:
nix-env -i
which seems to be their equivalent of:
guix package --install=
As an alternative, 'home-manger' seemed popular.
Would you say the same for Guix as well?

If you install plugins in your profile, you can add: set runpath+=/home/user/.guix-profile/share/nvim/site In your .config/nvem/init.vim I also have a guix-home-manager at https://framagit.org/tyreunom/guix-home-manager but it's more involved.
