For as much as I want to like and learn guix, guile and all that stuff, it's very very ugly and confusing. I even have a book around for scheme and the parentheses and ' and # in a bunch of places scare me too much and make no sense.

It's a system and language that doesn't work well with more basic editors and tooling and unfortunately for how cool it is I don't guess it will ever catch on for multiple reasons.
