Does it make sense to provide example/sample of manifests for developing in the main languages? And add advices in the manual? For example: guix package -m /etc/guix/minimal-opinionated-tools-for-C.scm guix package -m /etc/guix/minimal-opinionated-tools-for-Python.scm Well, I do not know what the correct location for such "examples" files. Folder /etc/? Other? And with a better name than "minimal-opinionated-tools-for-". WDYT? All the best, simon
