On: GNU Guile 2.2.0

Yes, it is relevant. For example, Guile powers an entire GNU/Linux distribution[0] where Guile is used for the init system, initial ram disk, and package manager.

That looks cool and/or terrifying. How does it go usability wise?

It's quite usable, but like anything could be better. I run GuixSD as my daily driver OS on a laptop and desktop and it's very comfortable for my needs. OS upgrades can be easily rolled back in case I screw something up so I feel more confident to experiment with my system.

How does it compare to say Arch?

It's easier to declare packages recipes using guile than a mix of xml/bash/config files that other distro use.
