It was on purpose that I did not insist on “purely functional.” That’s obviously the core concept, but I think it’s obscure to many (especially in this context), whereas “transactional” may make sense for a wider audience. > (b "Hackable.") > - " It provides " > + " Both Guix and GuixSD provide " > ,(link-yellow > #:label "Guile Scheme" > #:url (gnu-url "software/guile/")) > " APIs, including high-level embedded domain-specific > - languages (EDSLs) to " > + languages (EDSLs) to declaratively " > ,(link-yellow > #:label "define packages" > #:url (manual-url "Defining-Packages.html")) I’m not sure the extra words are necessary. Note: I’m probably biased so I’m happy if others can weigh in on these things! Ludo’.
