People all the time complain about systemd bloat, but it's very likely that in those languages it would be far worse.
- kaba0 6y agoI don’t believe people complain about systemd binaries’ sizes at all. They complain about bloat (in my opinion wrongly) in terms of systemd incorporating more and more features that often seems orthogonal to an init system. But often these are not part of systemd itself, but created only under the same project.
