	Do we need some changes to our programming languages, tools to build APIs more easily? Some changes would be nice, however they are not necessary. It is possible to write good APIs in C, in [[wikipedia::Java\|Java]] even now. It is just not very [[Cluelessness\|clueless]] right now. One needs to thing about the evolution issues related to API too much. As the [[The Future\|Epilogue]] suggests, it would be really more simpler for all of us, if our systems were designed with evolution in mind. I hope this book will provoke discussion of how to do it.		Do we need some changes to our programming languages, tools to build APIs more easily?
