I’m not sure how to address that. We could introduce lazy references with ‘module-ref’ at any of these stages. That would work but sounds like a hack. Hmm. Ideas? :-) > It would be amazing if we could easily create graphs of Guile modules... We can do it with ‘guild use2dot’ (with the caveat that we need to explicitly load (guix gexp) before because otherwise it borks when it sees #~ and the likes.) However the resulting graph is pretty much intractable. That said, it may be nice to have a similar tool that we could also use to build Makefile rules or to make a topological sort so ‘guix pull’ builds files in topological order. But that’s more of an optimization, I think. Ludo’.
