The code review of the patches I submitted to Guix this time was very helpful and thorough, so I learned a lot.

@ekaitz_zarraga @w96k I have been using Guix in earnest for less than a year. Although my personal time is limited, I have no qualms about spending much of my personal time on Guix now because it tickles my intellectual curiosity.
However, I sometimes wonder if I will end up with the same opinion as yours when I am no longer intellectually curious.
But I believe my love for free software will stop that.

Sometimes I have acquaintances who say, "I have no right to complain about my free use of free software," and they don't understand the preciousness and significance of free software activities, what should I do in such situations?
It is true that freedom 0 exists in the definition of free software, but I want them to have respect for free software developers.
I am not complaining; I am just trying to preach that the useful ones that are free to use are made by people who believe in freedom.

@emacsen Sorry, I wrote that as an abstraction so it doesn't come across.
There is a person who claims that Guix is completely useless without Nonguix, and that GNU is doing it wrong by not making Nonguix's existence public. He also claims that it is strange that Nonguix cannot be promoted on IRC and ML.
This is clearly against Nonguix policy, and I feel that this is a statement that shows neither respect for Guix nor Nonguix.

I think I may have figured out the trick to building an environment when creating an application in Guile.

By creating a `manifest.scm` in the project root and specifying Guile and the Guile libraries, I can use the `guix shell` to enter the development environment in which they are provided.

If I use `guile --listen` to launch the REPL in that environment, I can use it from Emacs with the `geiser-connect` command.
