Yes, it is perfectly safe and some people do that. Note that I would not *share* the DB and store - just have them separate and they coexist fine. > Is there any plan to change the nix core completely (reimplement using > scheme guile) in the future? When someone feels the itch it may happen. At FOSDEM someone joked that we should support the Nix language in Guix - i.e., write a Nix to Guile interpreter to support Nix packages live in Guix. Alternatively run two daemons. Pj. --
