Mes aims to create an entirely source-based bootstrapping path. The target isto [have GuixSD] bootstrap from a minimal, easily inspectable binary --thatshould be readable as source-- into something close to R6RS Scheme.

We will show the current state of Mes, some interesting things found on thepath so far, and Q&A on `Why Scheme?' and its future.
