My physics teacher likes to say that physics like to make problems they face look like ones that they know how to solve. A simple harmonic oscillation was one he frequently used in class, as is presumably the case in physics in general.

The stagnation of computer programming is not due to a lack of good ideas - it is due to the overwhelming commercialisation too early in its development. Notice that the state of prgramming is frozen where it was when it first became commercially viable. Now it has momentum and will be too hard to change. Java was a bit of a circut breaker, bringing a slight change which has followed through to C#/.NET. However, it only suceeded in this small change due to enormous commercial backing.
