Go Forwards, or Go Backwards?
Abstraction until when? Its weird that we abstract and advance, yet some people find the advancements hard to grasp. Take for example java and C, the programming languages. Someone that has developed in C for a long time would find building in java easy. However, its not the same the other way around. Someone who has used an abstract will not be able to understand the foundation. To me this is logical, we market Python as an easy language, but the beginners will only be able to use it and not truly understand it. We get kids to learn maths, but we only teach the utilization of it and not the foundation.
Its because of Intuition! We believe that the more we hide of the cogs and inner workings, the simpler it becomes... and thats true. However, the more we hide the truth, the hard it becomes to trust and understand. Thats intuition from a different perspective.
