Since Unix has been doing coarse-grained dataflow for decades, if it
hasn't conquered the undistributed world, it's unlikely to conquer
the distributed world either.   <rant>It's just amazing to me how many
Unix applications are written in purely monolithic style, not even
bothering to exploit the hundreds of dataflow objects (aka tools)
shipped with the system, never mind the thousands more that anyone
can trivially install for free.</rant>

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
