alt Hacker NewsI don't really like Systemd neither - but Wayland and Systemd are pretty much opposites of each other. Systemd does (too) many things, many of them badly. Wayland does well what it does, but it (still!) does too little. Wayland is adding features and is pretty close to doing "everything necessary". Systemd keeps accreting worse replacements for existing services.

They're similar in that they're both new things that are worse than what they're meant to replace.

Its similar in that Wayland assumes responsibility for all interactions between programs instead of providing unrestricted interfaces that can be used to implement accessibility, automation and whatever other tools people can think of. It's the systemD way or the highway and it's the wayland way or the highway. But yes the situation is also different in that there is one SystemD but many little incompatible wayland compositors.
