Re: Ruby on Guix

[Pjotr Prins]

Good stuff.

Tox is actually similar to what rvm+bundler offers (with Travis for
CI) in the Ruby world.

Here, we have gotten rid of rvm/rbenv and bundler. I certainly hope to
use Guix + Travis soon for CI - it is useful for development because
of fast turnaround (unlike the Guix CI).
