I'm sorry to dissect your quote, which is hall-of-fame-worthy, guess I'm just curious if it's always turtles all the way down, or if there is a "right" level of leak-proof abstraction. I imagine that every abstraction leaks in certain contexts, but maybe certain ones have stuck just because they're "good-enough" for common cases. I suppose I brought up processes and threads since they might provide for a level of parallelism that raw objects or closures lack, without an OS or runtime supporting them.
