The core-updates branch has a lot of new 'bash-minimal' additions, presumably for cross-building. Maybe this is a good opportunity to ask about something I have been working on. As part of a broader effort to make development in scripting language like GNU Guile easier, I rewrote the executable wrapper so that it uses Guile instead of Bash. My initial hope was that the Guile wrapper could use /run/current-system/profile/bin/guile (and thereby avoid an explicit Bash prerequisite) but it is only available on Guix System. My Guile wrapper will eventually reach you as part of a proposal to migrate Guix from the Automake build system to my very own Bespoke, which is likewise written in Guile. Meanwhile, please let me know if there is any use for a Guile wrapper (instead of Bash). Thanks! Kind regards Felix
