- RAM to HDD serializarion barrier
- The CPU GPU gap
- inter process communication barrier
- network serialization barrier
- GUI commandline rift
- (Caches-level barriers)
- value-level type-level barrier – dependently typed languages try to solve this one
- Safe cross thread communication in concurrent computing

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).
