Excuse my mistake in missing the definition of binary seed mentioned here
"opaque ascii or binary seeds that are injected during build time." Disregard
that part.

From section 3.3.1 in the manual:
https://www.gnu.org/software/mes/manual/mes.html
"Setting MES to a mes-compatible Scheme will run mescc using that"
What is a "mes-compatible Scheme"? That term does not appear again in the page.

Windows, I think Xiden's development is basically done.

This is an offshoot Q&A based off Devos' questions in the "How did you handle
making a GNU/Linux distribution?" thread. It pertains to how Guix compares to
Xiden on some points.
Given the length of both of our emails, I don't expect everyone to read this.
Guix is mentioned for discussion purpos
I'll answer your questions in a different thread to limit the noise in
this one. Look for the "Xiden/Guix design comparison" subject line
within the next 24h.

You are not the first to say so, and I'm happy to learn more about why.
I'll try to explain in a different way here, so forgive the text wall. I'll
incorporate any feedback here to improve the white paper. I'd als

Hi folks,
My name is Sage. I wrote a cross-platform Guix-like package manager
called Xiden. It applies functional package management to the Racket
ecosystem. It is also free software under the GPLv3. The source is
available at zyrolasting/xiden on Github, pending migration to a new host.
