Peak AbstractionToday I learned a new term from a blog post:
The complete blog post rags mostly on perf issues, but I'm more interested in the complexity implications. I felt myself go through this before, and to be honest the more powerful the language, the worse my peak abstraction got. It was only when moving to a less expressive language (C# rather than Scala) that I had incentive to keep it simple. Has anyone else found themselves in an abstraction trap and come down as they grew as a programmer? What can we do in PL design to avoid, or at least discourage, overuse of abstraction? Is this a case of where less might be more? By Sean McDirmid at 2012-02-03 06:21 | LtU Forum | previous forum topic | next forum topic | other blogs | 16543 reads
