Here's one part

A good design would make the init process which is always running and
everyone must run.

1./ Be a small simple binary

2./ Have no dependencies

3./ Be easy to follow, fix and lockdown, best fit being interpreted
languages.

4./ be as fast as possible

systemd meets 4. Sysvinit meets 1-3 well but OpenBSDs init meets 1-3
better
