I've purposefully avoided following the holy war, but somehow recently failed and noticed a new to me argument: systemd replaced lots of functionality wtih a memory safe implementation (shell scripts) with a memory unsafe implementation (C).

Right, but SystemD also got right of shell scripts, which are Turing complete and very difficult to secure when run in ring 0.

But yes, I hate C, too.
