- I want a guile machine. Guix provides shepherd, mcron, and guix all by default. guile-wm and guile-emacs are the next obvious steps. Whereas guile-wm would probably require me to build a VM to test it and get it working properly, guile-emacs can be developed, built and tested exclusively on host. So I can probably go through iterations of guile-emacs development more quickly than I can go through iterations of guile-wm development.
- I think it would look good on my resume. "[guile-emacs] aims to become the canonical GNU Emacs of the future." says the emacs wiki. I wouldn't mind being part of that, even if it doesn't become very popular.
- It could be more useful than geiser. No background REPL necessary to try guile scheme code -- what a concept!
- It looks like an interesting challenge.
