There is an excellent article on the Mathematic blog by Stephen Wolfram, who is still, after 21 years, the main architect of the Mathematica core.

If one does a good job at finding the primitives, then one can build a very broad system that gives one not just the functionality one was first thinking about, but lots more too.

This is very much what we are doing at Polar Rose now. Except our primitives are internal web services that operate on names, faces and images. Combining these web services for experiments and new ideas is now possible in just a few lines of Python.
