Storage Combinators manage to unify a lot of this with a somewhat nicer, REST-based and object-oriented interface (they came out of something I called in-Process REST). Byte-oriented interface are much easier to fit on top of that than the other way around. Almost more importantly, they don't claim to be universal. Instead, you can still send messages where that makes sense. The approaches are much simpler and powerful when combined than when each tries to be everything. Yes, you are allowed to say "synergies". With the corresponding object streams (that can be specialised to byte-streams as well), we have something I like to call Plan A from Userspace. https://2019.splashcon.org/details/splash-2019-Onward-papers/7/Storage-Combinators https://2019.splashcon.org/details/splash-2019-Onward-papers... https://objective.st https://objective.st
