"low hanging fruit" is much more expressive than "last mile" :-)

mumble: `container` is so abused that it's starting to become a buzzword
to my ears, `sub-system` is probably more semantic

what is the method used to instantiate containers with Guix?
I know lxc/lxd and systemd-nspawn but can't still understand what's used
here

yep, a *lot* of fun
also, given Guile homoiconicity a web based (who wants web based
interfaces?!? bah?) and/or declarative orchestration system built on top
of Guix+GWL would be the next (not so low) hanging fruit :-D
uh, if only I was able to hack in guile... I'll get there but I'm so
sorry I cannot help _now_ :-S
