On Toolchains

I believe a major factor constraining software evolution is the lack of refactorability as a core design goal of toolchains.

On a macro level this manifests in short system lifespans and on a micro level in inefficient developers.

Systems rot because they cannot be refactored and developers waste time because they cannot easily upgrade nor swap out components.
