What’s G-expressions? Quoting #Guix manual:
« To describe a derivation and its build actions, one typically needs to embed build code inside host code. It boils down to manipulating build code as data, and the homoiconicity of Scheme — code has a direct representation as data — comes in handy for that. But we need more than the normal quasiquote mechanism in Scheme to construct build expressions. »
