I believe that complexity and unnecessary dependencies on 
components and other teams, is the biggest problem/challenge 
facing modern software development.

It lead to software that is intolerant to change.

And it's the primary reason why the Cylons, when they arrive, 
will defeat us ;-)

The D language is so refreshing...that I'd hate to see it get 
caught up in that mess of complexity. We should all really be on 
guard against it.
