Benefits over other systems

• All state is kept in RAM, works without tricks on read-only root file systems.
• Efficient event-driven, polling free operation.
• Zero memory allocations during runtime.
• No unbounded file descriptor usage during runtime.
• One single self-contained binary, plus one optional binary to control the system.
• No configuration compilation steps needed, services are simple directories containing scripts.
• Supports reliable restarting of services.
• Reliable logging mechanisms per service or as default.
• Support for logging chains spread over several services.
• Works independently of properly set system clock.
• Can be run on FreeBSD from /etc/ttys (sets up file descriptors 0, 1, 2).
• Tiny static binary when using musl libc.
