Spore, 1 year ago to linux in I think Wayland should have been approached differently

So why not just use the lean and maintainable wlroots

wlroots can’t be used (comfortably and idiomatically) in Rust because it’s too hard (if not impossible) to provide a memory-safe interface for it.

we can move to another implementation of the Wayland protocols.

So unfortunately this has already happened.

No, monadic interface is used to programmatically access the store instead of being used to define packages. Packages are pure in Guix.

Guix uses Guile everywhere. Nix uses string interpolated Bash and Perl for anything impure.

Now what do you think?

I think there’s no need to stick with one particular language. It benefits to learn more languages and bring the “good parts” of their design into your code whatever you are writing it in.

Btw It happens that I’ve learned a bit of RISC-V, with Rust.

A git server don’t need to know email to work, and it is not required to have a git server. Email in this workflow is an alternative to a PR: contributor submit a set of commits to the maintainer (or anyone interested). Then the maintainer is free to apply or merge the commits. After that the code can be pushed to any servers.
