A good chunk of code being written today is machine microcode that's been abstracted into opcode then abstracted into an OS that runs code written in C/C++ compiled into an executable pretending to be another machine which executes its own bytecode interpreted from JavaScript code that was transpiled from TypeScript.
Not sure how many more levels of abstraction you'd want.
- whateveracct 3y agoYou know modern software is bad when abstraction has lost its meaning and become a bad word.
- deaddodo 3y agoThe way you worded this, I'm not sure if you're attacking my point or corroborating it. It sounded like you appreciated that the AGC simplified things via abstraction and then implied it wasn't possible to do today, despite that being the basis of all modern tech. I wasn't attacking abstraction in any way.
