All that parsing and unparsing would be expensive: you might as well deal in binary immutable objects instead. But otherwise the idea is good and has been in use for decades (Unix pipelines being the best-known example). The key is to share nothing except immutable objects. See Flow-Based Programming, a framework based on passing around immutable packets between components (there are Java, C#, and C++ versions) at http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/fbp/ . -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders. --Hal Abelson
