Reminds me of this 20Q toy I had as a kid: https://youtu.be/2C1No7cv84o?si=xAFibiv9LeVxM-rF

When you say "bag semantics" are you just referring to Set Theory? Is there a formal distinction between bags and sets?

Just say immigrant. No need to make sure people know you're talking about the white kind.

Michael Pollan has an interesting take on being addicted to Coffee. He suspects most of the modern world is thanks to caffeine and coffee breaks. His conclusion is: although there are some 'negative' side effects, those effects are minimal and the positive effects outweighs them considerably.

There are many embellished, hand wavy statements in this comment.

Could you give real world examples of:

  * "In reality, components have complex interactions far outside of what is captured in the component interfaces"
  * How template metaprogramming "precisely express[es] behavioral contracts... that are difficult to do in other languages"

I think you contradict your poetry with "Any non-trivial software system has to be reasoned about as a monolith at some level to correctly address complexity". If _any_ non-trivial software system _can_ be reasoned about as a monolith then it is true there exists some model with sufficient simplicity that there are well-defined discrete components.
