Because of recent events, I've been thinking someone should make an s6 based replacement for nixos.

It turns out, it almost exists:

"Almost", because this project focuses on routers.

@6d03 why s6 specifically? why not dinit. it seems better to me.

@vavakado

Can't say I'm familiar. How is dinit better?

@6d03 in my (limited) experience it's faster(even fastest) and i just like it's service definition syntax more, making it easier to use

@vavakado To be honest, I have not conducted a thorough analysis, I just like the simplicity of s6.
