Note the leading dot. The .guix-shell is defined in `gn-guile/web` and loads required packages using GNU Guix.
If you are on Debian you may need to unset GUIX_PROFILE first.
-Next fire up emacs with `emacs-geiser-guile` and connect to the running web server with `M-x geiser-connect` and the port `1970`. Now you can not only inspect procedures, but also update any prodedure on the live server using `C-M-x` and get updated output from the webserver!

+Next fire up emacs with `emacs-geiser-guile` and connect to the running web server with `M-x geiser-connect` and the port `1970`. Now you can not only inspect procedures, but also update any prodedure on the live server using `C-M-x` on code, call and get updated output from the webserver! No need to save/reload files and all that.

+Note that you may have to try different versions of guile+emacs to succeed.
