    I suspect the intended point of comparison is the monolithic Unix of old, where the entirety of the code of the system is (hopefully, ostensibly, allegedly) developed with a single vision, except for the applications in the narrowest sense of the word (e.g. the particular piece of numerics you need to design your airplane or whatnot, but not the editor you used to write it, the cluster scheduler you used to run it, the typesetter you used to write down your results, or the 3D viewer you used to present them).

    One example that’s just plain interesting to read to see what things people were exploring (because, let’s admit it, historical Unix source gets plain boring after a while) is AT&T Research’s https://github.com/att/ast.

    I just completed this project as part of my curriculum, writing a shell, not a terminal, these are different. You can see the source code here: minishell. We commented some of our code and there is a readme that goes over some of the broad strokes.
