Charles,

In terms of software composability, I would say, it's more about the programmer writing good code, rather than a new programming language.

I think the two most important aspects of writing good composable software is A) interfaces and B) reflection.

That's all you need. Then, in your house example at the end, if you have a component that implements an interface, all you have to do is rewrite it or write something completely new and call the new component instead of the old one, or use a factory pattern.

Thanks, Justin
