FYI:

Ludovic aka address@hidden starded a project implementing nix package
definitions in scheme/guile: https://gitorious.org/guix

   Guix is Nix from Guile!

   Concretely, it allows Nix package management to be done entirely in
   Scheme. The goal is to investigate whether Scheme, and in particular
   the ability to define EDSLs, would allow it to fulfill the role of
   the Nix language.
