With the development of atomically precise manufacturing we'll
eventually reach a future world where matter essentially becomes software.
So it is really important to fix all the cracks and gaps within software till then.
Heck, if problems are not fixed there will be serious problems long before
advanced productive nanosystems arrive.

List of gaps / cracks / rifts / barriers /...
- RAM to HDD serialization barrier
- The CPU GPU gap
- inter process communication barrier
- network serialization barrier
- GUI commandline rift

- value-level type-level barrier – dependently typed languages try to solve this one
- Safe cross thread communication in concurrent computing
These gaps can be underlying causes for higher up manifesting symptoms ...

Whorf-Conway
Combining Whorfs and Conways law ...
- Linguistic relativity (Sapir–Whorf hypothesis) – "the structure of a language affects its speakers' worldview or cognition" (and what we they express)
- Conway's law – "organizations design systems that mirror their own communication structure"
Adding both of the above together one can get the following:
Bad (programming) "languages" for human computer communication limits what we can express (Saphir-Whorf).
This is a limit on our communication structure, and ultimately leads to bad systems being built (Conway).
