Performance

gollark: Init scripts are bad, and systemd unit files are quite nonstandard.
gollark: It could be run from a separate PID 1, and use TOML or some actually-usable language to write service files.
gollark: What would be neat is a modernized and usable but *non-systemd* service manager.
gollark: The trouble is that systemd is a giant monolith which random things now tie deeply into.
gollark: The basics of service manager-ing aren't massively complex, so I suppose it'd be doable to implement your own.
