Merci de relayer. :-)

Today is the tenth anniversary of #GNU #Guile 2.0! 🎉
https://gnu.org/software/guile/news/gnu-guile-200-released.html

It was the first milestone towards an implementation that would actually allow you to write all your application in #Scheme. Lots of good memories, personally. And it’s humbling to see just how much has been achieved since then!

The annual #Guix-HPC report is out!

https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2021/02/guix-hpc-activity-report-2020/

It reviews our activities around #HPC and #ReproducibleResearch.

Guix has made it into Debian Unstable! This means Debian users can use Guix as a "userspace" package manager now! https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/guix

This is really wonderful! Debian and Guix both care deeply about reproducibility.

This could be a big win for user freedom on both (cotd ...)

Now starting a post-FOSDEM #Guix Day unconference!

I attended most of the talks in the “Declarative” #FOSDEM track today and I enjoyed them all!
https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/track/declarative_and_minimalistic_computing/

It’s been truly inspiring all along, and perhaps one of the best programs this devroom has had over the last few years. Thank you, fantastic hackers!

whew, my talk went pretty well at FOSDEM I think :D

There was a lot packed in there but it's been a fairly excited response. Yay!

The #Rust #bootstrap chain has shrinked in #Guix:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=core-updates&id=df93fc21a48047988b032ead90b0869491c834c8

In essence, mrustc (a Rust compiler in C++) is now used to build Rust 1.29, instead of 1.19 as was the case before:

In fact, all the talks in the “Declarative and Minimalistic Computing” track look exciting to me:
https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/track/declarative_and_minimalistic_computing/

I’m particularly impatient to learn about @spritelyproject, to be once again amazed by #miniKanren, and to see when we can finally have sexp diffs!

There’s an exciting #GNU #Guix program at #FOSDEM this week-end, plus a one-day Guix workshop on Monday 8th!
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2021/meet-guix-at-fosdem-2021/

New ‘guix package --export-manifest’ command emits a manifest listing all the packages in your profile. You can then pass it to ‘guix package -m’ to deploy precisely those packages:

A helper for those willing to migrate from “imperative-style” package management to declarative style.
