Guix can now produce relocatable application bundles. Unlike snap, flatpak, etc. the resulting bundles can be bit-reproducible and the user needs no additional software to run them since every distro can extract a tarball.

@xj @dthompson Plan 9 is the OS of the gods anyway so comparing it with literally anything is beyond unfair :3deyes:

@xj @sn0w your bash script assumes theres a program called 'bwrap' on $PATH. I assume that is what is doing the actual namespace stuff?

@xj @sn0w guix itself has secure sandbox code I wrote in 2015. A scheme procedure named call-with-container. `guix environment --container` uses it.

@xj @sn0w okay?

@dthompson @sn0w

as in compare/contrast or whatever. like an observation, not a value judgement.

a scheme program is, by definition, less portable than a bash script because bash is pretty much the standard UNIX shell. in the case of this sandbox code, you have to install fewer deps to make it work on "whatever linux distro".

@xj @sn0w sure, that is true, at least for the time being while guile lacks a native code compiler. my project has a different scope than yours, since I was adding features for people already using guix.
