That is a very good idea. I think, however, the demand will be much higher for a 'GNU Guix' book which teaches scheme implicitly. It will also make GNU Guix a first rate item in the shop. Grow a Scheme on Guix ;) I am happy to contribute a chapter on 'GNU Guix for science' and perhaps a chapter on 'Writing software using Guix containers'. Both topics make my daily work a joy :). Can't do without it. Pj.
