Leo,
Thanks for your reply

Did you mean (guix build utils)?
I used cc-for-target and cxx-for-target from (guix utils). Where would I
add (guix utils) so it is included on the build side?
More generally, I expect there are many ways I could improve the
build system. What are they?
I know little about jpm, but in my opinion you ought to let the user
customize the flags passed on to jpm at least in the build target --
not so sure about check and install. If janet-build-system allows some
degree of customization, consider also letting the user override the
test-target.
I think I should at least try to make the with-toolchain package
transformation option work. Beyond that, I'm not sure how much
customization jpm offers without editing project.janet. I'll take a look
at some of the other build systems for language-specific build tools for
ideas (I think a lot of them have a similar, minimal feature set). I also
hope that once I get a working build system and gain some experience using
it to create packages, some customization opportunities will present
themselves.
Best,
Jack
