I think what would be more handy is a standardization of how APIs should be written across many different domains, to make modules more interoperable.

The result of conceptualizing and abstracting different domains is in as much of a Wild West as it’s ever going to be today.

This reminds me I wanted to research about the theory of marketplaces to understand better how can we improve the market of reusable software components. By that I mean improving the process that we actually use to find and use or create and distribute reusable software components.
