Guix is written mostly in a functional style, so hacking in there would fit.

The bootable thing requires some design and hacking on the core of
Guix. So I don’t think it’d be reasonable as a summer project. (Plus I
hope that some progress has been made by this time!)

We’d just need to come up with a more precise task list, I suppose. :-)
I can’t really offer to mentor work on Guile-SCSH or on a WM, unless
there’s specific integration work with Guix.
WDYT?
