I see a lot of potential there:

  - Continuous integration
  - VM generation and deployment with OpenStack
  - Container generation and deployment with K8s
  - Root filesystem generation for embedded systems (e.g. Yocto, Elbe)

As a student, here's how I have been using Guix on the academic side:

  - CI (cuirass) of developed tools
  - Reproducible workflow for my research
  - guix-shell + manifests for volatile laboratories environment
  - Automatic correction of student's work submission (similar to a CI)

In all, Guix is a very powerful/flexible tool when in good hands and
everyone in the field would gain from mass adoption of it.  I think it
has a bright future ahead.
