This code supporting a refereed zoology paper uses #Guix + Guix-CRAN for #ReproducibleResearch ๐

(HT to @phsw!)
Updated Guile-DSV to the version 0.9.0 in GNU Guix:
ba78d4d8864 gnu: guile-dsv: Update to 0.9.0.
@civodul When I did a talk covering Guix to the #ScryerProlog community, I hung the theme on the importance of reproducability.
I focused on the analogy of Robert Boyle's formation of the 'experimental method':
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_and_the_Air-Pump
This was to emphasize the value of Guix wrt reproducibility and its disciplines (either scientific or artisanal) and how this is significant for logical programming domains like Prolog.
#Guix is unlike encapsulation of Microsoft and future haipe generated forms.
> total predictability and stability above all else
If it's really "above all else" and that's not an exaggeration, then I think you basically have two options where everything is strictly versioned-controlled, you can rollback at any time and (mostly) everything is reproducible, and those two options are either #NixOS or #Guix
But usually people don't need those "above all else", then Debian is more than fine. But worth knowing for those who really need that! :)
@gyptazy Thanks ๐ I'm hoping to make my homelab simpler, and fully declarative - right now, its trivial for me to rebuild/deploy my vm's as they are all based on #guix ; I'd like to have guix on my bare metal servers as well to get these same benefits.
Another big part of this would be personal learning and building a solution that exclusively relies on free software.
fwiw - proxmox has been an excellent experience over the almost decade I've been using it!
I fell behind on #ceph updates (I currently run a hyperconverged ceph+proxmox cluster) and the #guix ceph package is also no longer building; felt like it was time to simplify, and further drive my homelab setup to be 100% declarative - right now, my proxmox nodes are setup manually (by a repeatable manual process).
I'm excited to see what a fully #guix powered environment will look like ๐
fyi - all the vm's I ran on my hypervisor are powered by #guix
