Might want to look into GNU Shepherd. The whole thing is written in Scheme.

It seems to have a very limited scope of just managing services. I sort of like that systemd is more tightly integrated with Linux and for example listens on netlink for network changes, or device hotplug events, or on input events for (power) button events, and allows to reconfigure the system based on changes dynamically, etc.
