How many times per second do you think awk, grep, sed, et al are being used right now? Composable tools exist. Whatever horseshit is going on around ANY bigger sized application is not. Excel, any random React app, GIMP… sure, compositional engineer might be taking place WITHIN the application, but it is barely composable beyond a Copy, Paste, Save As dialog and the ability to arrange the window with other windows. Can’t you see how things immediately invert and turn inwards, away from interaction, away from composability, the moment the turn towards structured interfaces begins? An API is a narcissist. You have to live in its world. A Unix pipe is a communist. Think, aggregate vs combined in terms of the GPL… pipes vs APIs…
