Some companies, such as Netflix, have experimented with using them entirely as a replacement for shell scripts, which is the sort of research I'd most love to see.

I think there's a chance something could be developed that would better fit the way we interface with computers today, and the underlying engine approach would move us toward the "everything speaks one language" design we lost in the move from shells to standalone GUI applications.
