"Choreographic programming"?

Are we just straight up inventing buzzwords now?

Hey guess what, I'm more into symphonic opus programming, none of that backyard dance-club programming for me thanks.

That is apparently the existing academic term. It's got a Wikipedia page. But yes, all buzzwords were invented.

This confirms to me it was indeed originally intended as a buzzword then. :D

Nothing like establishing a new buzzword in a field to get them citations rolling.

New? It stretches back industrially to the WS-* stuff in the early 00s (this is where the term originated), and on the academic side has roots in process calculi from the 90s and session types from the late 00s and early 10s.
