Hi again,

Looks like your shell environment is clobbering the Guix environment.
This is Guile 3.0.9 stable, not the Guile provided by Guile next.  The
version string should look like this:

    guile (GNU Guile) 3.0.9-0.c2cba86

You can try using the --pure or --container flag to isolate guix shell
from the rest of your system more.

reflect.wasm is a build artifact. Since you haven't built Hoot from
the Git checkout, there is no reflect.wasm for you to use there.
Instead, use the one installed by Guix. The file name for it can be
computed like so:

   echo $(guix build guile-hoot)/share/guile-hoot/js/js-runtime/reflect.wasm

> In procedure open-file: No such file or directory: 
> "/home/mbc/projects/guile-hoot/js-runtime/reflect.wasm"

If you'd like to build Hoot from the Git checkout but skip V8, you
could try this:

  guix shell guile-next autoconf automake pkg-config texinfo

Or remove v8 from the package inputs at the bottom of the guix.scm
file.  We only use V8 for the test suite.

Hope this helps,
