There's no doubt that there will be significant effort required
to build the kinds of systems that we've been talking about.
There are many non-technical issues that would have to be
worked out to assure success. Luckily, we are not operating
in a vacuum- this sort of thing was being accomplished back
in the 80's using ordinary procedural languages.
At one time I was pretty familiar with the literature on the
subject. It's been a few years since then, but I have been
plinking away at some of the technical issues that come up.
I've taken a bit of a beating lately, so forgive me if I get a
little cocky here:

Some food for thought- take care!
