That they don't even teach 'leaky abstractions' is a bit rich, and as you point out it's hard. And it's not 'hard for most people' it's hard for everyone. Eve

Every API is leaky and inconsistent, it's all a matter of degrees.
Concise documentation is essential. I'm reading about a Java API for the 5th time and only now just 'getting it' fairy clearly, it's not rocket science it just needs to be explained properly. Java 'Direct Memory Byte Buffers'. Simple concept, described poorly!
