ahah, this list has been through enough and has enough mature people

now one could argue that by using LISP or its dialect to build
something, no matter how big and invasive is, even as invasive as
systemd, it will never be as bad as if coding it in C.

This because of the nature of "dependencies" in LISP when written in
proper stateless form. This is one of the reasons I do love the effort
of GNU DMD (now renamed Sheperd) as a init system, because is written
in Guile (scheme dialect of LISP).
