Great, now you asked I have to come up with an explanation đ Like Karaf with OSGi being my unicorn in software.
Wiki extract: The unicorn is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity...(of software science) A symbol of purity and grace (practice long known theories, force modular thinking and design), which could be captured only by a virgin. In the encyclopedias, its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness...(resolve a big ball of mud, I do not have a analogy for the virgin yet:)) The unicorn continues to hold a place in popular culture. It is often used as a symbol of fantasy or rarity...(itâs time to change that). -- Sent from: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Karaf-User-f930749.html
