I did earlier, but let me repeat myself.

Distro rely on many program, that they intend to integrate.
Programming language rely on almost nothing but many programs

The problems you have to solve are the exact opposite of one 
another.

I suggest considering how things are done in python, java, PHP or 
other successful languages.
