►Composition
eltanin core (in place of coreutils)
functional package manager (venus)
reproducible build system (arbor)
redo to automate builds (in place of make, powering venus and arbor)
execline for scripting
mksh as /bin/sh
arcan (in place of X.org/Wayland)
s6 and s6-rc (as init system)

►About
It's an operating system project, its current distribution uses the Linux kernel, but it isn't necessarily tied to it (its questionable directions may speed the release of a new distribution under a different kernel). It tries to do things right, worrying about quality instead of following trend$$$ just for the $$$ake of it, proving that many "necessary evils" are not necessary after all.
> no systemd, pulseaudio, wayland
While OSes/distros that goes against the flow may seem to many here as "autistic revolt", it does not happen "just because", even if you like those you should support health competition, forced dependency is always harmful in the long-run (like programs expecting my init-system to be a specific one; even when that makes sense, portability shouldn't be so weak to be that painful to have simple ports).
> i care not about freedom or consequences
At least join the communities to see from time to time the progress and wish luck, its progress could bring something beneficial to you in the long-run, and if doesn't you lose nothing.
