The important thing in paradigms is not their names. But how a new one can
be benefit to us.
Before introducing a new one. You need to specify what are
the inconveniences of the current paradigm.

And there are many questions you should ask:
What are the problems?
How the new one can help?
Why this can't be done in the previous one?
How much things/apps should be rewritten?
What are the limits of the new paradigm?
 etc...

Any links to scientific publications and work is also welcome.
Thanks,
