You might be interested by the Efraim’s talk «Just build it with Guix»
from the online Guix Day:

  <https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/online-guix-day-announce-2/>

Roughly speaking, Guix allows an undocumented file usually named
“guix.scm” or “.guix.scm“ where the point is to easily do the “build and
test what is delivered” part.
