You're not inventing new things, take a look at CORBA and compare that to COM objects. It's not "no new things", it's "build things that are actually principled, don't just cram a bunch of garbage together because it's the path of least resistance". >Every increase in expressiveness brings an increased burden on all who care to understand the message. There are plenty of new things that are largely compatible with unix philosophy. MQTT is one of my favorite examples, it's a message bus that follows a lot of unix philosophy and I find it a joy to work with compared to stuff like DBUS. Obviously it doesn't fill the same role as DBUS, but still.
