The technology is already there and works well and it’s generally very simple. The challenge though is just using it.
These concepts are higher order, so the developer using it has to be really smart. I mean actually smart and not pretend smart using some framework bullshit or a package manager to do the heavy lifting. So, that alone eliminates some 80% of developers.
Also, there is no immediate gratification to higher order data modeling. It takes a fair amount of effort to build something worthy of the technology and then it’s just some abstract tool for use in some other related business/product. That then eliminates another 10-15% of developers. That doesn’t leave many people left capable of doing the work and then those people have to be connected enough to have someone to fund their self-learning and building effort.
