On Guix System #!/run/current-system/profile/bin/guile is very likely to
work :-), but on other systems you could use “#!/usr/bin/env guile” I
suppose.

That’s indeed annoying.  I think we should add ‘-s’ and similar flags
that ‘guile’ supports to ‘guix repl’.

In the meantime, as Jesse suggested, you could arrange to have both
‘guix’ (the package) and ‘guile’ in a profile, such that Guix and its
dependencies are available in $GUILE_LOAD_PATH.

As for inspecting the installed packages, the entry point is (guix
profiles), which has everything you need to grab info about a profile.

HTH!
