It is also strictly less powerful because of that, often needing to launch bash scripts instead of the programs directly.

I understand this as systemds config being less powerful than using Guile?

If so, I fully agree, on the config being less powerful.

Maybe let me add to my original argument, because it does not seem to make it’s point well.

I think that it would be feasible (and worthwhile) to simplify the configuration structure while keeping Guile syntax, and have the complaint be a non issue. As opposed to keeping the semantic structure and just changing the syntax as the comment I replied to proposed.
