I wonder what other existing programs Will Systemd attempt to replace in the future.

My bet is /bin/sh, maybe they went further to replace the entire POSIX utilities.

Guix will reimplement POSIX utils and extras with tools written in Gule.

It wouldn't be a bad idea. Also, Guile's JIT could be interesting there.

Also, a shell with a live REPL instead of failing on errors can be pretty interesting.
