Complexity is ever increasing
'Incidental complexity' - problems part of your tooling or language, not of the problem domain itself

People moved from C++ to Java because of memory management
painful, complex
Now Java
Frink is totally fantastic. Really cool - really crazy.
automatic memory management
but: simple? mutable or immutable?
