That’s great!  Thank you for giving it a try.

I started work on what I called “Guile Studio”, a distribution of Emacs
that comes with Geiser, CUA-mode, flycheck for Guile, relevant tool bar
icons, and the picture language, among other things, to make it easier
for people to get started with Guile without having to first learn
Emacs.

You can find it here:

    https://git.elephly.net/software/guile-studio.git

To install it try this:

    git clone https://git.elephly.net/software/guile-studio.git
    cd guile-studio
    guix package -L guix -i guile-studio

Run “guile-studio” to start it.

I would appreciate contributions!
