Anyone tried it yet? It's a functional package manager (and distro) based on NixOS, written in GNU Guile.

Take your shit somewhere else. Besides the only good package manager for Linux is portage.

Isn't that one based on Guile? Are there any distros for it? Wasn't there an anon writing a lisp based distro who could use it?

It's written in Guile Scheme, but it's based on Nix.

That would be an issue if there were serious performance losses in using python. In this case, they are probably negligible, and it being python probably makes the code much easier to maintain.
