Welcome to computing.

- OOP will solve all of our problems

- P2P will solve all of our problems

- XML will solve all of our problems

- SOAP will solve all of our problems

- VMs will solve all of our problems

- Ruby on Rails and by extension dynamically typed languages will solve all of our problems

- Docker [etc...]

- Functional programming

- node.js

- Cloud

- Kubernetes

- Statically typed languages

- "Serverless"

- Rust?

- AI

Some have more merit (IMO notably FP, static typing and Rust), some less (notably XML and SOAP)...
