  • a remnant from the old times

    This comment demonstrates a misunderstanding of shepherd and guix. Using an actual programming language vs some bastardized version of a markup language to describe complex configurations is increasingly popular because it is better. guix is inspired by nix and allows you to specify the entire system as code in a reproducible manner - which you don’t want to do in ‘human readable’ toml+, yaml+, etc. because it fucking sucks.

    I like when tools abstract away the programming parts

    You can use scheme to abstract away scheme lol. These are advanced tools for advanced systems.

    *I use systemd all the time, but a direct comparison between systemd and shepherd without additional context is misleading and flawed.
