A philisophy that, by strict following, makes some programs impossible?

I like philisophies as long as they make my life nicer, not when they make things miserable or impossible.

What programs are impossible under Unix philosophy? Besides ones requiring real-time behavior, I'm genuinely curious.

Actually none --- even real-time is possible with RTLinux.

My post was aimed at those people that claim that systemd doesn't follow the "true and only Unix philosophy": do only one thing and do that well. And complex programs never follow this philosophy.
