singpolyma presents on writing guix packages with js

[jgart]

Hi Guixers!

Today's Guix Packaging Meetup will feature singpolyma:

https://singpolyma.net/

singpolyma will be discussing and demonstrating how to write a Guix
package with javascript instead of guile. This is possible because while
we tend to think of Guile as a scheme dialect, Guile is actually a highly
extensible compiler tower that happens to include a Scheme frontend. It
also includes an undocumented ECMAscript frontend which can be used to
run JavaScript-compatible code and syntax that calls any arbitrary Guile
code (e.g. Guix code).

Here's more info about the meetup:

Here's a paste of a js guix package:

js API probably changed since that paste.

hope to see you there,

jgart
