   @cwebber Using Guix casually for several years. I like Scheme and lisps in general, guile in particular. I'm using Guix despite the fact, that I'm not so good at writing scheme, but I wish to improve and contribute back to this awesome community.

   For me Emacs, Guix, Guile feel like an island of truly free software. I don't see corporate influence to that project as in gcc. Also only Lisps provide true freedom to change anything to a programmer.

     @w96k @cwebber Fun fact: until recently, GCC’s code was very much “Lisp in C”, with dynamic typing and garbage collection. Working with the ‘tree’ type and related code was similar to working with libguile in C. (That was until Google employees pushed for C++, and shortly before their employer found greener pastures for them to go to.)
