Previous: Introduction
There were a number of requirements for the MX architecture.
- The architecture should be relatively light-weight. That
is it should be verbose, which would discourage programmers from
making small modules.
- The basic architecture should be as customisable as possible.
- The architecture should be fail fast, that is it should
break early, rather than run incorrectly.
- Dependency between modules should be explicit.
- Loading should be as rapid as possible.
