When you design a system or a language, if the features can be broken into relatively loosely bound groups of relatively closely bound features, then that division is a good thing to be part of the design. This is just good engineering. It means that when you want to change the system, you can with luck in the future change only one part, which will only require you to understand (and test) that part. This will allow other people to independently change other parts at the same time. This is just classic good software design and books have been written about it. The corollary, the TOII is less frequently met.

This kind of “insert block” user interface concept is showing up in almost every blogging tool, web editor, note-taking app, and content management system. People like it and it makes sense.

Embed blocks accross the web with the future block protocol :D

If APIs can share data between programs and websites, then I understand the block protocol as a way to share UI components and logic between websites.
