Very interesting writeup, as a long-time Nix user I've always been interested in trying guix but never gotten around to it. Great post overall.

> The thing is, I'm not actually sure if Guix's better documentation helps smooth the onboarding in any way because you have to already know Scheme, which is a more complex language than Nix.

LMAO absolutely not. Nix-the-language is the worst programming language I've ever had the misfortune to interact with. I picked up Scheme in about 1 day during a class in college. It's night-and-day different.

I gotta admit, I stopped reading when I saw nix with scheme. If it was scheme plus nix and it was sorted, I might have continued.
