Yes PL, my home field, I am proud to say has been leading the way. I am certainly more optomistic than I would have been 20 years ago when Rob Pike wrote this, but the war is not yet won.

E.g. it feels like 1000s of bad abstraction dependencies is mirroring https://homesignalblog.wordpress.com/2020/12/25/industrial-sprawl/ https://homesignalblog.wordpress.com/2020/12/25/industrial-s... in the real world. (I am not against larger numbers of dependencies, just the bloat that comes from a gazillion square pegs in round holes, and conway's law preventing anyone from trying to do anything about it.)
