     I'm looking for references to research into the influence of a
programming environment on one's development style.  For example (and,
actually, specifically), one might suspect that developers in a UNIX
environment might tend to create tools and other programs that are
small, single-function units, similar in nature to basic UNIX commands.
Has this (UNIX specifically, or development environments in general) been
researched?
