    Careful, systemd might integrate Meson and force systemd on everyone who uses Meson.

    I shouldn't even be joking about this...

      Mesond anyone?

      Joking aside, I know nothing about Meson, but Gradle runs as a daemon and continuously builds your source code. Quite a nifty feature.

        SystemD had 166 releases in last 7 years or 23 per year... which means any user should update their init system every 2 weeks and do that on fastest build system - that would obviosly save anybody's time

            You do realize build time savings are there for developers and not users, right?

              If you show me systemd binary that any distro should use, i would agree on that

                This is cool and all, but why is no one starting to use tup? Kind of the same project, except it has both an incredibly simple syntax, and support for using Lua files. So it can do away with some of the more common-place autoconfigure systems, even if it doesn't replace it.

                    You seem to be a special kind of moron. Debian users will use the Debian binary, Ubuntu users the Ubuntu binary, Arch users the Arch binary, ... . It still has to be compiled only once per distro and only by the distro developers. Or are you seriously demanding that software developers now have to provide a binary for each and every system out there? or is it just systemd developers that you want impose that special burden on?
                    Unless, of course, you happen to run a source based distro with systemd, but then whining about having to build something from source would be more than weird.
