There is some mixing of ideas to be done. The path forward is there, but forked.

There is considerable invention to be done, of a novel but not a fundamental sort. It is the sort of invention that any programmer does when confronted with a novel problem. Programmers will find this novel because they are not accustomed to having the tools to solve such problems. The tools exist but are not suitably deployed.
