Specifically, VirtualBox relies on a non-free toolchain at build time, AIUI. That’s why Guix does not include it. Fox: QEMU should run about as fast as native code as long as you provide the ‘-enable-kvm’ command-line option. See:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Running-GuixSD-in-a-VM.html Thx I had found that kvm info too.Sadly GuixSD suffers breakdown after the install of python for some weird reason.
My idea was to do GUI programming stuff with guile-gnome-platform available also on NixOS and as a NixOS package.
But to get the hello-world going requires quite some effort, I found. And my NixOS install went haywire after only a few hours.Meanwhile I found the Mr.Ed GUI-designer for Dr.Racket-GUI (racket scheme) which gets you started way faster.
https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/mred-designer seems more useable than Boa-Constructor even.Maybe I drop guile in favour of racket hence. running WxGlade LISP code with guile seems quirky too.
