Every language and its dog these days is object oriented.  Surely we
can do better, or at least different.  You know what they say, nobody
who remembers the past has the courage to reinvent the square wheel.

I suggest we explore alternative and innovative paradigms, such as
subject-oriented programming or even gerund-oriented programming.  I
don't even remember what a gerund is, and if most other
language-design people don't either then maybe there are some virgin
research territories waiting to be exploited.
