> Regardless of systemd’s issues those are not comparable alternatives. I agree with this, but for different reasons. I have various machines, with various distros, using various init/daemon-managers, including a number of fairly complicated setups (multiple LUKS drives, ZFS, etc.). The systemd systems are invariably more burdensome to maintain, and it's nearly always systemd that's the issue. > and they’re written in guile, a language I can best sum up as someone’s “hold my beer” response when told Perl was too hard for causal users to understand. I agree that the current shepherd configuration itself seems more opaque than one would like, but to compare guile to perl in this fashion is ridiculous. Guile is a Scheme, which means it has consistent, simple syntax and is more easily understandable than C, much less perl.
