This is somewhat off-topic, but I am not going to look into this stuff because, frankly, there's no call for it. Two major problems with advanced anything in IT:

1) business goals basically never require sophisticated software (I am lamenting this; it's most decision-makers' lack of imagination or understanding of the possibilities) and, consequently,

2) engineers love introducing unneeded complexity, maybe to exercise the mastery that decision-makers stifle in us. (I'm lamenting this, too. It's irritating and wasteful; if we right-sized work to fully exploit our human resources, they wouldn't burn out or implement maladaptive coping strategies like overengineering.)
