As someone having to debug issues on OpenWRT derivatives, I wish I had a time machine to tell the inventors of Unix to never add other forms of IPC than pipes.

It's all a big pile of stateful daemons notifying other daemons with a billion race conditions and zero debugging capabilities, like a parody of how not to create reliable systems. When you have shell scripts parsing JSON messages, you know it's over.
