Where is GUIX covered on this site? I am interested reading about it. I dont see how guix needs OpenJDK or Mono as it is written in GNU GUILE -- but maybe there is something I am not aware of.

Guix in order to bootstrap OpenJDK and Mono from sources it needs to create a centipede-like toolchain building. WIth Rust it's even worse. One build per release since the first C++ compilable compiler.
