I believe the only way we can push the state of the art at this point is to replace Linux entirely with some new experimental kernels. Linus will never accept a radical departure from his own design. We definitely also need new ways to talk about these ideas (or I/we just need to learn them!). Object orientation is a philistine way to group concepts that have matrices of complexity. For example, there are distinctly different functions of code that most languages I've seen don't provide a syntactic way to express. How can I explain to someone that this part of the code is one part of an ordered set of operations tied to a variety of states influenced by a variety of functions, while some other code is idempotent and stateless? And can't our compilers take advantage of this to connect the pieces for the developer?
