Re: summer of code ideas

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello!

Actually, a fun project would be to implement Nix storage model, its
build primitive (‘derivation’), and assorted tools (garbage collector,
etc.) in Guile Scheme.  It doesn’t seem unrealistic, though it’s perhaps
another project; OTOH you mentioned rollback so it’s not completely
irrelevant either.  ;-)

Another (difficult) question is how that would integrate with the rest
of GNU—the GNU Build System, GSRC, ELPA, Stowfs [0], etc.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
