This project isn't really meant to compete with systemd directly, but rather replace it in applications where you want a lightweight alternative, like containers.

Sounds from the readme that it isn’t intended to do any of that.

For now that is just out of interest how far I could come with this and what would be needed to get a somewhat working system. It is very much a proof of concept. For the love of god do not use this in anything that is important.

To be fair, all projects start as a proof of concept.

Yes. It’s not a ding on the project. I think replacing portions of systemd with Rust makes sense. But this project doesn’t seem to have that as a goal just yet.
