UNIX philosophy is cargo cult from a book worshiped by FOSS folks.

CORBA was born on UNIX, original implementation targeted C, C++ and Smalltalk.

Java was years away to be created, again by a UNIX company.

Java EE, was reborn from an canceled Objective-C project created by Sun and NeXTSTEP, again two UNIX companies.

No, unix philosophy is what make things work together as i see. A big mess of inheritance tree doesn't solve large scale problem. That's the misunderstanding of "large scale engineering" that i've seen from most companies.

You don't solve problem by solving it. You solve it by decomposing it, and compose again.

The technical architects, solution architects and business analysists couldn't care less about what a worshiped book says about the UNIX philosophy.

On the enterprise mines, the minions do what they say.
