    Originally it was about code. Split it into reusable functions, and such.

    SyStEMd fans don’t understand, per usual.

      Is it not about chaining processes?

      IIRC the ideia was to use pipe (or other methods) to send one program’s output to another’s input

      But it very well could be about reusable functions, as code or as a .so file

        Hmm. I can’t find ehere i got that from, other then it being more general. https://cscie26.dce.harvard.edu/lectures/lect02/6_Extras/ch01s06.html

        Either way the whole point is to write programs/code that can interoperate and be composed. SysD programs comunicate over an “implementation is the specification” protocol, so they might as well be one blob instead of separate programs.

        Reply was to you, but it’s still a public forum with a topic.
