Of course you are proving now that you did not understand the question posted earlier in this thread.
1. There *are* languages that don't use separate spec files. Java and Python are well known examples, representing both compiled and scripted approaches.
2. Programs written in those languages do *not* need to be written in one giant file. Actually, Java is frequently criticized (it was even in this thread) for forcing the programmer to use too many (!) files. Even though it does not have separate specs.
Obviously, I'm *not* saying that separate compilation units are not needed and I'm *not* saying that programs should be written in one giant file.
What I'm saying is that experiences gathered with other languages allow to question some of the reasons that are frequently cited as a justification for having separate spec files.
