+build and the ease of packaging software. I also love the one-time
+usage of programs without littering my system.

+Curiously, even as I'm a Python developer, my first contributions have
+been about Java packaging. And I spend quite some time trying to build 
+maven. This challenge I gave up after two (or three? can't remember)

+maven build system.

+without dependency conflicts.

+some „guix compose“ for managing compound containers.
