1. A new programming language, accompanied with a new way of teaching
programming.

2. A new OS, which uses a nanokernel approach and wastes processors in
the name of reliability.

3. Ultimately, a new multicore cpu architecture that exerts much more
hardware control over the things that programmers tend to screw up.

The current generations of languages, programmers, methods, and OSs
are relics, and they don't scale.

It will take a long time to fix things, because the current computer
culture - academics, programmers, cpu makers, Microsoft - will fight
for its survival.
