Or you know, if we're just using the Unix philosophy to mean whatever we feel like to win an argument, I'm going to argue against it on the basis that this small javascript helper library is not designed to run on a mid-range PDP-11 in the late 1970s, nor is it intended to be a self-supporting operating system optimized for rapid prototyping. Therefore, your entire design is premised on a nonsensical set of constraints, and is hereby rejected.
