Two more Rotterdam-triggered things, contextless. Brazil ("This is Central Services..."). And Worse Is Better ("the New Jersey approach when used for software is a better approach than the MIT approach.") - although outwardly Groove seems to be MIT ("it is more important for the interface to be simple than the implementation"), its structure and the speed with which is was assembled makes me think it's New Jersey really. "In the worse-is-better world, integration is linking your .o files together, freely intercalling functions, and using the same basic data representations. You don’t have a foreign loader, you don’t coerce types across function-call boundaries, you don’t make one language dominant, and you don’t make the woes of your implementation technology impact the entire system.".
