    Maybe instead of demons with config files that have more and more bespoke syntax, it's better to go all the way to a library that provides the basic loop functionality? Like https://github.com/c-blake/cron or something similar in C or whatever.

    Maybe not, but it's an idea worth considering...

    https://github.com/c-blake/cron might interest you. This uses "job" from GP in the sense of "cron jobs", although GP meant something much more broad by "jobs in C". ;-)

    The key idea is portable to any prog.lang. you might like, although many will not be as run-time efficient as Nim, C, etc. and many may not be as syntax safe as Nim.
