I've been reading the post and it does meontion They state that the
parser is inside launchd and thus inside PID 1 , in the video they say
this is wrong but it looks like the poster knows the video so he/she
may be true after all. Was an awesome read (indeed I have opened two
more articles to read them). Now, I'm going to be honest, whenever I
look into any system my only concern is how good they could be to make
a desktop, really, so I really don't care about launchd being so
desktop-specific. What I find really interesting is that is the second
time I have seen nosh mentioned, it seems it's considered the
state-of-art in init systems (only the first time I read about it, the
author said it was not in a bery good state due to lack of manpower).

On a side note, every now and then I look into FreeBSD, and I'm liking
it more and more, up to the point I'm starting to wonder which one is
"better" , but I mean technically which one has better internal
design, better code (more elegant, lass dirty ...) , does anyone has
any opinion/knowledge/post/information video to share?
