I believe we’re entering the Functional Reactive Programming paradigm shift. At least I hope we are.

Behaviors that update views on data only when that data changes.

Named resources ala URIs that expose those views, thereby exposing that data through APIs ala REST, ala CouchDB.

Views that can then be dynamically compiled into pages using transclusion (the embedding of externally identified, content) and functional reactive programming client behaviors ala Flapjax or more conventionally Redux. Views that can be programmed live using FRP techniques ala SuperGlue.

Flat tables ala CouchDB, Googles BigTable, Hadoop? and Vertica, storing large datasets viewed with client-driven(pay?) behavioral views that form customised APIs. Behaviour Orientated Architecture. BOA.

Forget about maintaining the APIs and worry about maintaining the data and the ability to view that data. ie. computational resources to generate and distribute those views, as well as uptime and security permissions for that data. HTTP Digest, view access permissions? [Insert Identity Layer Here] Better yet, automated content-centric networking, encrypted packet creation of those views as named data that can be pushed into the cloud.

Next we take it to the architecture level and synchronous reactive programming. Then we get functional reactive AI systems.
