Abstract
In the beginning, so our myths and stories tell us, the programmer created the program from the eternal nothingness of the void. Programs these days are like any other assemblage. Programming language has always been about reuse. Components themselves are not the most important consideration for reuse; it is that the end product is a composition. The issues still involve value, investment, and return. In other words: pervasive reuse promotes a change in the method of construction of the program, and in the program itself.
