Semantics seem to somerimes get in the way unless they are fully specified into well defined profiles. Which is amazing when they are, in the form of "Any port of this type can meaningfully connect to any other port and it does what you think it should". But a lot of the time you wind up with something that STILL needs config on both ends.... because programmers hate arbitrary choices and always like to leave room for omitting features or simplifying later. And of course, programmers also like to break things, so even if semantics DO work, they won't hesitate to make v2. As much as I really love modular pluggable systems, it seems like semantics free things are unfortunately easier to build an ecosystem around. Nobody gets excited for a chart of data types it seems. OSC has survived surprisingly well though.
