If something has no dependencies, it has to do everything in the binary itself. You either end up with no features, or potential for tons of bugs. Having NO dependencies also means you have to bypass the C library and implement everything from scratch - that is the worst idea ever. > 3./ Be easy to follow, fix and lockdown, best fit being interpreted > languages. So, init should be a small binary in an interpreted language? Am I the only one who notices you are contradicting yourself. > 4./ be as fast as possible > > systemd meets 4.
