;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides the code for interacting with Guile using Guix REPL
;; (Geiser REPL with some guix-specific additions).

;; By default (if `guix-use-guile-server' is non-nil) 2 Guix REPLs are
;; started.  The main one (with "guile --listen" process) is used for
;; "interacting" with a user - for showing a progress of
;; installing/deleting Guix packages.  The second (internal) REPL is
;; used for synchronous evaluating, e.g. when information about
;; packages/generations should be received for a list/info buffer.
;;
;; This "2 REPLs concept" makes it possible to have a running process of
;; installing/deleting packages and to continue to search/list/get info
;; about other packages at the same time.  If you prefer to use a single
;; Guix REPL, do not try to receive any information while there is a
;; running code in the REPL (see
;; <https://github.com/jaor/geiser/issues/28>).
;;
;; Guix REPLs (unlike the usual Geiser REPLs) are not added to
;; `geiser-repl--repls' variable, and thus cannot be used for evaluating
;; while editing scm-files.  The only purpose of Guix REPLs is to be an
;; intermediate between "Guix/Guile level" and "Emacs interface level".
;; That being said you can still want to use a Guix REPL while hacking
;; auxiliary scheme-files for "guix.el".  You can just use
;; `geiser-connect-local' command with `guix-repl-current-socket' to
;; have a usual Geiser REPL with all stuff defined by "guix.el" package.
