> "The definition of a framework is abstraction." It's actually "a basic structure". Which seems to work much better. Your definition would make this: trait Storage { def put(path: String)(bytes: TraversableOnce[Byte]): Unit def get(path: String): TraversableOnce[Byte] def rm(path: String): Unit } A Framework. Which is obviously wrong. Reusing a basic structure to short circuit some engineering tasks and hopefully accelerate the development of others. That's a Framework.
