You probably missed it there, Guix's syntax is the programming language Scheme. It's most definitely Turing-complete.
It's possible that there's a more mature LSP server for Scheme, since it is a programming language used for other things, too...
Whoops, I misread scheme as schema. That's really powerful. One thing I wish I could reliably do with a Nix LSP is navigate to a definition of a symbol.
@Ephera @ruffsl They also missed that #Guix is fine with unfree stuff, they just choose not to talk about it, and like to promote #gnu. But the Guix you use is /your/ choice.
@khleedril @Ephera @ruffsl I use several nonfree packages, and binary packages (both free and nonfree). None of this can be added to the main Guix repo, but as GNU is about freedom, nothing stops me from packaging these as I see fit and distribute them freely to others to use.
So if you only use the main channel, you won't find nonfree software, but look at https://toys.whereis.social/
