Yesterday’s computer problems mostly consisted of computation – using hardware to build fancier and fancier calculators. Typical uses for computers consisted of moon-shot calculators and military missile ballistics calculators.
Today, though, the interesting problems are mostly asynchronous and distributed. For example internet, robotics, gaming, blockchain, GUIs, etc., etc.
We need a new workflow which uses new notations for programming and allows programmers to mix-and-match notations, using many notations to solve any one specific problem. The religious belief that we need “operating systems” detracts from our abilities to invent new workflows.
