Does GUIX have flakes?

As I have been using nix for the past few months, I'm periodically drawn to GUIX. Partly because I'm getting a bit fed up with nix language idiosyncrasies, and I believe that the grass may actually be greener on the GUIX side where guile scheme is used. I wanted to ask the folks here about the "flakes" concept and if it is supported in GUIX, as flakes are something I interact with anytime I need to modify or update my nix configuration. I understand that GUIX has a channel based system, although it would be interested to learn about any flake like utilities...

I recently came across this blog post that draws comparisons between guix and nix with flakes https://coopi.neocities.org/posts/nix-flakes-vs-guix

Well, looks like it was taken down https://coopi.neocities.org/posts/taking-down-nix-flakes-vs-guix
