There's a lot of 'Why?'s here, what I feel from this is that the FS can now be a turing-complete system. This will allow to extend the 'Everything is a file' concept in UNIX (whether it's good or bad is a different question;) to computation. With BashFS, computation & interaction with other programs is now a file; we can 'open' a appropriate file instead of managing subprocesses anymore! This (at least to me) blur the difference between UNIX (where everything should be a file) and LispMachines (where everything is a Lisp object).
