Yes, using guix-devel-build-package-source, or even building by writing
Scheme code in the Guix REPL.

Actually 9 months, but the issue has been there forever.
The problem is the Schemers are just painfully dealing with the status
quo. I believe we need to address this. Geiser is lagging behind by
far, compared to what SLIME, SLY, racket-mode and CIDER can offer.

Which 3 weeks? I think you looked at Maxim's comment :p The issue was
also opened 9 months ago.

Yes, but my point is that since traces are mostly useless as it is now,
we don't lose any benefit by using `guix repl'.
We have 2 options:
- Fixing Geiser, which might take a long time, leaving us with a broken
emacs-guix for the time being.
It's not even clear that it can be done without rewriting everything.
- Or use `guix repl`, which is known to work, already has working code
out there, and can be deployed in a week or two.
I find the second option more attractive.
We can always go back to Geiser at some point in the future when it gets
more reliable.
Cheers!
