For as much as I want to like and learn guix, guile and all that stuff, it's very very ugly and confusing. I even have a book around for scheme and the parentheses and ' and # in a bunch of places scare me too much and make no sense.
It's a system and language that doesn't work well with more basic editors and tooling and unfortunately for how cool it is I don't guess it will ever catch on for multiple reasons.
Scheme is just lisp with blackjack and hookers. It has some huge advantages, that's why it's called God's own programming language
It's older than C, that's why it doesn't have C-like syntax like otger common languages
