I've been thinking of switching to Artix with s6 and this project seems similar. Could someone give me a rundown of some of the differences?

I can see it layers over s6 with 66 for service management.

Well i am obarun user but beginner so i can't give lots of insights. I know that artix uses systemd and systemd-libs dummy packages, because most of pkgs from arch have systemd in dependencies, which is completely useless... obarun doesnt provide these. You can grab a pkgbuild and remove systemd dependency and other stuff. Your best bet is to go on obarun forums and ask yourself also obarun provides it's own 66 suite https://web.obarun.org/software/

This init system obarun provides is bloody fast, you can configure your trees to suit your needs and your system will take 5 seconds to boot. Artix is a bit like ubuntu of non-systemd arch linux. This is obarun announcement that was removed from /linux reddit because it critises systemd https://sysdfree.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/linux-removes-o...

That announcement doesn't even mention systemd. It was probably removed because of its bombastic, grandiose claims - "most advanced init system", "make every other system appear obsolete", "more effective than ever before or with any other system" etc.

you sound like the mod that removed it!

Coincidence?
