Especially if the assembled components are across shared-libraries.
For true Java-like runtime wiring of components picked up from the
classpath.

Imagine a core no-dependency statically linked exe, with embedded SQLite
backend,
and simple built-in logger. Useful on its own, can be shared / open sourced.

But which can be configured at runtime via CLI or file configs,
to use a more sofisticated Logstash logger, a different backend, a
different WebSocket impl, etc...
With those parts closed sourced, and for a fee. Like a freemium model. --DD
