Primes¶
- Compatibility
- A Unix shell command and a Python script are loosely coupled: they interact via standard pipes; if either is improved, the other continues working—the canonical illustration of the Unix philosophy described by Kernighan and Pike (1984), in which power emerges from relationships among small, composable programs sharing a uniform text-stream interface.
This sourceCanonical exposition of the Unix philosophy: develops pipes, filters, and standardized text streams as a discipline of loose coupling in which small programs achieve composability through interface compatibility rather than tight integration, on the thesis that the power of the system comes from the relationships among programs.
