What language is Systemd written in? I'm pretty sure it's not Bash.

I've never been able to use systemd as a command interpreter.

An init system doesn't need to be a command interpreter. Why are you being so obtuse?

It doesn't need to be, but there are some advantages in being able to have system startup scripts in the same language that you do one-liners in at the terminal.
