If I read this on any other website I’d assume it’s sarcasm. Only on HN, folks.

I don't understand why it would be sarcasm on any site. That is the original divergence, Guix was a version of Nix built on Guile instead of Nix.

If you're a long-time lisper interested in the ideas embodied by nix/guix, that alone is a lot of points for guix.

It's curious how the world rejects lisp so fast, I guess they have a lot of energy to waste.

... why would other sites not count "Guix uses a language the author might already be more comfortable with" as an argument for why the author might prefer Guix?
