Pretty tired and frustrated with things not working in Emacs (as well as I would want them to.)

fj.el is great but keeps blocking and sometimes just fails.

Emacs-Guix is great, when it works. (https://codeberg.org/guix/emacs-guix/issues/15) It has gone to the point I find it easier to just M-! guix command instead of using the interface. I wonder if others are also doing the same and hence tolerating it?

On the other hand, I have started learning more about gnus, seems to do a lot of things.

#guix #emacs #gnus

Guix-Geiser Repl doesn't start

so I was testing #9 and was met with this error while starting the guix geiser repl and it happens will all the commands ``` guix-geiser-eval: Error in evaluating guile expression: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception: Throw to key `match-error' with args `("match" "no mat...

I actually like the mailing list experience with gnus, even if it blocks. Wish fj.el could use gnus as a frontend.

@tusharhero I fetch (most) mail externally, and just read it with Gnus, that removes a lot of the blocking

@tusharhero Me and a few of my peers use guile-ares-rs and emacs-arei for Guile and Guix development.
https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/guile-ares-rs
https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/emacs-arei
After we update guile to 3.0.11 in guix repo, we plan to release Ares/Arei 1.0 and some blog posts on how to use it.

As for emails I use notmuch, it's powerful and snappy. Requires some learning so.

Setting up emails via RDE is easy breezy (have a lot of positive feedback on this matter).

@abcdw emacs-guix doesn't use this though.

@tusharhero True, but implementing similar interface on top of Ares is relatively easy. So maybe after 1.0 somebody will do it. I hope it will be someone other than me :)

@tusharhero Personally, I usually access guix via APIs like this one:

https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/rde/tree/master/item/src/rde/api/store.scm

I have a few more tricks locally on my laptop, but they require cleanup and not published yet.

Anyway, waiting for Guile update and we can proceed with a reliable and user friendly UI for Guix.

What are you usual use cases with emacs-guix?

@abcdw even searching packages fails, https://codeberg.org/guix/emacs-guix/issues/15

My guix-shell pr doesn't work because it can't get completions for package names half the time.

Guix-Geiser Repl doesn't start

@tusharhero A shameless advertisement of the projects we make :D

But we use also use them ourselves full time, so I think it's fine :)

@abcdw @tusharhero +1 for notmuch. I miss it! Since degoogling, however, my wife and I switched to Proton and I haven't worked out a bridge to Emacs (yet)
