Code staging in GNU Guix

Abstract

GNU Guix is a "functional" package manager that borrows from earlier work on Nix by Dolstra et al.. Guix implements high-level abstractions such as packages and operating system services as domain-specific languages (DSL) embedded in Scheme, and it also implements build actions and operating system orchestration in Scheme. This leads to a multi-tier programming environment where embedded code snippets are staged for eventual execution.
