gollark: Instead of just saying "no, bad program" or something.
gollark: If you `write` onto a datagram socket or something, you then have to have code in the kernel to interpret that in a somewhat sane way.
gollark: And you probably need some somewhat fiddly compatibility to map not-very-sockety stuff onto sockets.
gollark: Files and sockets need to share a namespace, code somewhere (possibly multiple places) has to make sure it's using the right type of thing.
gollark: That doesn't seem very advantageous.
