What kind of interoperability should I expect between Guix and Nix going forward? As I understand, Nix is pretty heavily reliant on systemd for running services while Guix has its own pid1. Last I read Guix was also replacing the daemon with one written in scheme. I think Guix used Nix package format (nar) at one point but not sure if that holds anymore either.
The idea of two functional, declarative package/system managers being interoperable is very exciting for me, if it meant I can use full breadth of Nixpkgs with system config declared in Guile. But is that something I can look forward to or is it too much?
Nix exists as a service for guix. All my system declarations include the nix service. But as far as interop goes I’m not really sure of the value. I think it just sounds neat but hasn’t really been thought through in terms of exactly what that would look like.
