Specificationification

Core Goals:

• hardening core toolkit

• building out expressive tools that form the interface to the IC platform

• aggressive about swapping in new functionality

• works now but with upward compatibility in mind

  • Kurt: Don't squander your degrees of freedom

Approaches:

• maintain workingness without being a slave to backwards compatibility (Do not break backwards compatible behavior silently)

• Separate customer facing functionality from backend/support functionality

• Maintain loose coupling of components while assuring a small number of specified points of responsibility

Organizing the notes:

• one document per entry poin.
