Comment on Guix for Developmentparent

Comments

You can run Nix packages on Guix if there isn't a "native" package for it. Look at nix-service.

I've never felt the need myself. If something is missing, I add it and I think that is the real fun in running Guix because creating your own well defined package or service is deeply rewarding.

Anyway, you can find people using it in the wild either by search engine[1] or with Toys[2] which is also handy for finding examples of missing packages too.
