> Anyone that isn't able to write modular code using the language features is going to write network spaghetti code,

Languages (libraries) should support this more because people are doing it. I don't want to be bothered by this complexity etc for most of the project; I will architect it properly but the language features should help me in this case.

Some new languages/envs are exploring this, like [0] and Erlang ofcourse is an example of naturally working (or having to work) like that.

In many other environments we work it's mostly annoying; very possible but a chore instead of the language/environment helping me. We roll out quite large deployments anyway; given the choice I rather would see a nicely architected monolith.

Apparently Ada and Modula-2 aren't fashionable, given how long ago languages and libraries support this.

I could pick more recent examples, just wanted to make a point how old the concept goes.
