This article was pretty confusing.

At one point I thought the main thesis was to take inspiration from software APIs to document the process between the design and development team, which already looked like a pretty horrible proposition, taking Anti-Agile to a new extreme in the Individuals and Interactions vs Processes and Tools spectrum.

But then ... I just got lost.

So is the idea to build a REST API to serve constants of a design system, such as colors and font sizes and have a single reference point?

Design tokens and standard formats seem to go in this direction, but honestly this seems like one of the last problems to solve, in the Design System space.

Please someone enlighten me if I'm misled somehow.
