To be precise, GNU Shepherd is the continuation of an old init software originally called GNU DMD, written in Scheme, that was intended to provide init system to the Hurd before Guix and systemd existed (and happened to already provide some of the best features of systemd (like dependency graph, parallelism, etc.) But actually, even related to the Hurd, Shepherd is a better name, and it is very cool the development was resumed. That’s a very good thing Guix people did, whatever are the issues of their software distribution / package manager.
