This is just the standard misguided entitlement people feel towards other people's projects supported by other people's time and effort. It's continually outrageous to me how people feel they can just volunteer other people's time and effort to support their own wants. The people who do the work are entitled to make their decisions and if you don't like it fork it yourself. This has been the way of this ecosystem since it started.

This is shockingly naive
One way I gauge the significance of a theory paper are the measured quantities and physical processes it would contribute to. I see none discussed here which should tell you how deep into math it is. I personally would not have stopped to read it on my arxiv catch-up

Except the community of people who, for whatever reason, had to throw themselves into it and had critical mass to both distribute and benefit from the passion of it. This has already been eroded by the tech industry coopting programming in general and is only going to diminish.
The people who discovered something because they were forced to do some hard work and then ran with it are going to be steered away from that direction by many.
This is the narrow understanding of programming that is the whole point of contention.
And often incorrect! (and occasionally refuses to answer)
Except that ecosystem Guix provides is not on Windows nor MacOS, making a serious limitation to anyone who wants to develop guile on those platforms.
I support GNU's mission in general, but I find it ironic that when they push freedom of choice you're forced to make the "right" choice or you're left twisting in the wind.
Forgive me if I am not.
