I'm not sure that monolithic is how I would describe the mindset -
many people would suggest C++ code etc. is overly fragmented into
class hierarchies etc. But the resulting application may be monolithic.
DLL hell is also a real problem when you build everything into modular
DLLs.
JAR hell is just as bad if not worse with the dreaded classpath! Java 9
introduces modules. I haven't had a chance to look at Java 9 yet.
