Just rediscovered ‘build-farm.el’, written by Alex Kost several years ago to navigate continuous integration data from #Cuirass (#Guix) and #Hydra (#Nix) from the comfort of #Emacs:

We should give it more ❤!

me in 2009: Nix is cool, let’s do CI for Guile with Nix!
me in 2012: Guile is cool as well, Guile + Nix = Guix!
me in 2023: Guix is cool, let’s do CI for Guile with Guix!

#GNU #Guile #Guix #Cuirass

I now have #cuirass running in my local network providing substitutes for my personal #guix channel.

Super slick!

@mpjgregoire LilyPond has its core in C++ and extensions in #Guile. This architecture was prevalent with pre-2.0 Guile, which was a slow interpreter.

Nowadays, complete applications like #Guix are written in Guile and hot code paths run fast. That’s a huge difference.

Impacts of recent Guile developments on Guix can be seen at:

Another example: the recently-released #Cuirass tool uses Fibers, the lightweight concurrency library that Andy mentions in this blog post.
