and we should probably look at alcoholic liver disease as an expression of capitalism. data is bytes. period. your suggestion rests on someone else seeing how it is the case and dealing with it to provide you with ways of abstraction you want. but there is an infinity of possible abstractions – while virtual memory model is a single solid ground anyone can rest upon. you’re modeling your problems on a machine – have some respect for it. in other words – most abstractions are a front-end to operations on bytes. it’s ok to have various designs, but making lower layers inaccessible is just sad. i say it’s the opoposite – it’s 2025, we should stop stroking the imaginaries of the 80s and return to the actual. just invest in making it as ergonomic and nimble as possible. i find it hard understand why some programmers are so intent on hiding from the space they inhabit.
