API users & API wrappers Suppose you have a sparse RAM API, something along the lines of: add_range(base, size)write_ram(base, bytes)read_ram(base, size) People use this API for things like running a simulated CPU: define the accessible memory with add_range()pass the initial state to the simulator with write_ram()run the simulation, get the final state with read_ram() Suppose this API becomes a runaway success, with a whopping 10 programmers using it (very little irony here, >95% of the APIs in this world are used exclusively by their designer). API users The first thing the first API user does is call you. add_range(0x100000, 6) # input range add_range(0x200000, 6) # output range write_ram(0x100000, "abcdef") # run a program converting the input to uppercase print read_ram(0x200000, 6) # should print "ABCDEF" It runs. The next 8 API users copy your sample code themselves, some of them without you being aware that they use or even need this API. Then some time later you stumble upon the following code: Waitaminnit.
