AFAIU, asdf is for providing particular versions of tools (e.g. python, etc.). In the original post, guix is also used to provide library dependencies.
Guix is the free software oriented, lisp flavored cousin of Nix. -- I've used Nix. It's got enough rough edges that writing nix code is pretty much only accessible to enthusiasts.. though, those who can get past the rough edges do recommend it.
The added complexity of guix/nix allow for having an OS distribution where the whole OS config is declared/reproducible.
