Yes this is a major problem. I've been thinking hard about this space, the future of software engineering, and the conceptual similarity between the idea of containers the world is coalescing around, and Alan Kay's model of object orientation.
Our issue today is that programming is too low level. We're still figuring out the standardised atomic components software of the future can be built from, but in the meantime we're rewriting the same concept, ideas and subsystem in every project. Contributing to a new project is akin to learning a new language, a new culture.
