It's not in its infancy. The fundamental problems regarding algorithms and data structures, OS theory and formal language theory are well understood and have articles on Wikipedia. We know Amdahl's law, the CAP theorem and the ABA problem. The problem is the explosive decentralised development of tools, languages and frameworks under a hyper-competitive neoliberal economic system. Someone invents a language to lock programmers to their platform. Another programmer creates a tool to transpile that language to their half-assed dialect of another language. This leads to a huge problem of entropy and inefficiencies at all levels.
