I think the natural next step of "UNIX pipes and filters" is Flow-Based Programming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-based_programming). Processes can have multiple named input and output ports, and data flowing between them can be objects and other data formats.

In currently building an Open Source FBP tool called "NoFlo" on top of Node.js, and at least the initial results of building websites with it are promising.

This is definitely the direction i see things going.

Node.js is also perfectly suited for it, and I recall hearing that it's also on the core team's mind.
