since scheme was mentioned in that article: an init/supervisor written entirely in (Guile) Scheme already exists (http://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/): The GNU Daemon Shepherd or GNU Shepherd, formerly known as GNU dmd, is a service manager that looks after the herd of system services. It provides a replacement for the service-managing capabilities of SysV-init (or any other init) with a both powerful and beautiful dependency-based system with a convenient interface. It is intended for use on GNU/Hurd, but it is supposed to work on every POSIX-like system where Guile is available. In particular, it is used as PID 1 by GNU Guix. this is also not entirely off topic here since it is used as process #1, daemon supervisor and "service manager".
