If people are trying to get away from Systemd due to perceived "bloat", the last thing they're going to want is another GNU abomination.

trying to avoid systemd is like trying to use a custom black theme. at some point you figure out you have better things to do than to fight with your system all the time.

That must mean Shepherd has 0 other users, if the only user is the developer. Wow.

I am using systemd, but I wish it would have socket-activated daemons. Maybe it does have that, but I don't know how. I wish it was simple and easy.
As an occasional PHP web developer, I have Apache installed, but don't want it to get started on boot, only when my web browser connects to it.

I don't want the idiotic INI syntax of systemd, let alone Guile...
