General Terms Languages

Conventional tools yield expensive and inflexible software. By requiring that software be structured as plug-compatible modules, tools preclude out-of-order development; by treat-ing interoperation of languages as rare, adoption of innova-tions is inhibited. I propose that a solution must radically separate the concern of integration in software: firstly by using novel tools specialised towards integration (the “in-tegration domain”), and secondly by prohibiting use of pre-existing interfaces (“interface hiding”) outside that domain
