There actually are people using the Hurd. Not many, but some. And with
Guix, the hurd is just a service definition away:

 (services (append
            (list
             ; login to temporary hurd-vm via sudo herd start childhurd && ssh 
root@localhost -p 10022
             (service hurd-vm-service-type
                      (hurd-vm-configuration
                       (options '("--snapshot" "-cpu host"))
                       (disk-size (* 30 (expt 2 30))) ;30G
                       (memory-size 8192)))             ;8192MiB
;; ... other services ...
)))

Best wishes,
Arne
