No they aren't. I was pointing to the fact that in Guile you don't need shell scripting where you can use functions like 'mkdir', 'symlink', 'copy-file', 'file-system-tree', etc..., so you can use scheme with all the support Emacs, Geiser and guix.el give you.

I'm a complete beginner but, for example, comparing Nix's Firefox and Guix's IceCat you can see that with Nix you have to fallback to shell scripting for some tasks while with Guile you can perform those operations with Scheme.

"Voices hearer" here. I've been mostly off antipsychotics for 7 years now (over 30 yo). If antipsychotics did just cut "voices" down I would be happy to take them, but unfortunately most of them have sedation and motivational side effects that are harder to bear than the "voices" themselves, which also I don't like. However, it comes handy to have them at hand during those occasional periods of insomnia, since my health priority is keeping a solid routine in study, sports and sleep pattern.

No, I'm just starting to learn my first lisp. I just found wisp while I was lurking on search engines for this parentheses "problem" (as I viewed it). Then I found this answer on quora and started to convince myself parentheses don't really matter: https://www.quora.com/Would-it-be-possible-to-replace-parent...

Right at this moment I'm reading this paredit guide : http://danmidwood.com/content/2014/11/21/animated-paredit.ht...

Yes, wisp : http://www.draketo.de/english/wisp But most lisper prefer parentheses. As for me I'm just starting to learn scheme because of GuixSD and I'm trying to get used to parentheses. It's not that bad if you use paredit/parinfer/...
