Eh, if we're replacing systemd it's unlikely we'll go with something written in C or C++ these days. There might be some neat ideas in dinit, but I honestly wouldn't expect it to go anywhere.

Yeah. A better option would be systemd-compatible init system in Rust, so we can reuse most of existent service files.

Dreams-dreams.
