"Everything is just" approaches usually result in hammering things that don't fit into fitting.
That often ends badly. Computing has been through, at least:
- Everything is just a function (SICP)
- Everything is just an object (Smalltalk, and to some extent Java)
- Everything is just a closure (the original Common LISP object system)
- Everything is just a file of bytes (UNIX)
- Everything is just a database (IBM System/38, Tandem)
