gollark: Thus, syscall count alone doesn't define how complex it is.
gollark: You could replace every syscall with a megasyscall™ which performs the function of every other one, but it's the same or slightly higher complexity.
gollark: I don't think it is simpler and reduces code just to have fewer syscalls.
gollark: So now you just have an overly broad version of a "file" which makes stuff unable to rely on file-y properties as easily?
gollark: Well, yes, and since they can't really be treated the same way why just have one central "write to this" thing with differing behavior?
