New paradigms in wiring code emerging

It seems to me that ideas happen at the same time to many people. I've been thinking of ways of wiring code other than stacking 'em one after the other, and I find Coplien talking about DCI (although in fairness his ideas are a bit old - I just discovered them now), and today this:

The title's a bit dramatic, and the content seems original but is probably not entirely new(Google and ACM search pending).

What excites me, however, is:
  • Wiring code is being treated as a first-class problem
  • Solutions are recognizing the problems of being in Nounland (thanks Yegge), but not knee-jerking into functionville entirely. Solutions are emerging that are somewhere between, where the common coder lives!
