<christianbundy>is there very much collaboration between guix and nix on the bootstrapping problem? <lfam>christianbundy: I'm not working on bootstrapping directly but I do work on Guix. As far as I know, the answer is no. There is not much collaboration in between Guix and Nix in general <lfam>There is collaboration between the Bootstrappable project and Guix, so there may some collaboration "transitively" <christianbundy>lfam: That makes sense. I've been asking around in NixOS circles and it doesn't sound like they're super into the bootstrapping problem? Dunno. <lfam>Yeah, I don't follow Nix closely but I don't think they are concerned with that sort of thing <lfam>As far as bootstrapping is a free software concern, one of the motivations to create Guix was that Nix did not really care about software freedom very much <lfam>I mean, they do care about it. But just not as much as Guix and GNU <jelle>we have had a Nix-er working on bootstrapping with janneke at the last reproducible builds summit
