Abstract
Tools for composing software impose homogeneity requirements on what
is composed—that modules must share a
language, target the same libraries, or share other conventions.
This inhibits cross-language and cross-infrastructure
composition. We observe that a unifying representation of
software turns heterogeneity of components into a matter
of styles: recurring interface patterns that cross-cut large
numbers of code-bases. We sketch a rule-based language for
capturing styles independently of composition context, and
describe how it applies in two example scenarios.
