I find it interesting, there are no comments about the author's argument that programming today is inefficient as the most popular "model" are relational databases. "* I imagine this model as a relational database...it becomes clear that using a textual source code is really inefficient way to manipulate this model.*" It wasn't too long ago, object oriented programming, ORMs, and NOSQL was in fashion. I believe that was a dead end. I don't believe relational databases are the end all or be all either. What has stood the test of time is the double entry accounting transaction journal entry. In this model, the journal entry is the system of record. And you can have multiple distributed systems creating these entries at the same time. You collect and aggregate these entries to display the "balance" at a specific point in time. To me, this is what Kafka distributed logs powerful. Distributed logs builds on a proven concept.
