Four months ago, Bret Victor published his "Future of Programming" Talk. The most inspiring part to me was his 'prediction' of discarding brittle api`s for systems that negotiate a communication protocol dynamically. (Toy example: modem filter negotiation) http://vimeo.com/71278954 Relevant explanation @ 13:30-16:30.

Ya. I saw that and it was awesome.

> api`s for systems that negotiate a communication protocol dynamically

I think the first step is to find a very easy way to describe communication between sub-routines/processes. Once people can hook things up and compose the interaction of software with foreign/unknown systems (all in real time while the software is running) then we can get systems to start doing it dynamically (run on sentence but ya).
