No, something like launchd, but without the XML: https://github.com/mheily/jobd — and that's great.

The goal of systemd was to eliminate the differences between Linux distributions. FreeBSD doesn't have that problem, it's not a standalone kernel, it's developed as a whole base system.

Ironically, this means that systemd is the most BSD-like thing that ever happened to Linux userspace. As in, everything developed together. If only it was better quality and not overcomplicated…

No, actually launchd: https://github.com/NextBSD/NextBSD :-). XML isn't required; plists can be JSON or UCL or whatever.
