streams and network programming is most desirable, this also impacts other
libraries.
Another big one is async programming. Some kind of unified, higher level
framework to deal with this could be a huge help - it's a hard problem.
It's interesting to see that in .NET a lot of new stuff concerning async
programming is coming out, suggesting that the (many) existing patterns are
considered inadequate. In C# 5, async operations will be a language level
feature with the async/await keywords. There is also the reactive extensions
library for async streams: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/gg577609.
Most interesting about this one is how easy it is to compose async
operations.
