A very basic task when maintaining an ecosystem of software and technology
is the integration of multiple codebases.

This comes across plainly in the norm of composition in object oriented
development.

Composition is a norm for providing a locally-normative interface for some
other class, the functionality of which is encapsulated within the
developed class. It's an alternative to inheritence that gives the
developer more control of what limits and interfaces are available to the
wrapped class.

It involves a lot of boilerplate, and is normally quick to create.

The software ecosystem out there now, often to me looks like it was made
generatively by trial and error. There's not a lot of integration between
codebases.
