The best we have currently are:

- https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#index-go_002dbuild_002dsystem
- https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#index-go

Guix packages are always welcome! The biggest help at the moment would 
be helping to bring existing packages onto Go v1.21.0 so that we can 
make that the default, and improving the Go importer so that people like 
you can just run `guix import go <module>` most of the time and get a 
working package out of it.

You're welcome! I love Guix and appreciate the work of all the other 
maintainers. Together, we have something special :)
