Circa 2010 enterprise java managed to take all benefits from freeing memory management and waste them on absurd abstractions and xml permutations (you throw some settings in xml and see what happens) The universe is conspiring against us shipping real code.

LOL, so true! I'd say the opposite is true: software isn't eating programming in any significant way. As much, it's eating the overhead you describe.

Breakthroughs? Show me!
