gollark: OpenRC on Alpine, Runit on Void.
gollark: I've used both and I don't really like the user experience.
gollark: I think you could reasonably make a nicer service manager which just reads INI files, manages processes, communicates with some logging backend, and has an API for firing events/managing services. But nobody seems to have done this.
