ahoy all,

   i have been researching GuixSD and Guille a bit, hoping to take the  
plunge soon.  the nice community here is definitely a big plus :)

   i came across the following article

https://davmac.wordpress.com/2018/10/26/on-the-vagaries-of-init-systems/

which raises some issues with the Shepherd init system (towards the  
end in the section "Robustness and failure modes"), in particular with  
its use of an interpreted and garbage collected language.  i was  
wondering if anyone here with knowledge about this would care to  
comment on the validity of these concerns?

   regardless, thanks for the work on GuixSD and company.

peace, w
