Leaky Abstractions: The initial sign of tightly coupled systems
Imagine a scenario where you are creating an application for an operating system. while building this app you get an exception saying, “Unable to write memory address 0x08048faf”. That’s amazing, now what are you supposed to do? Find that address and check for the issue? It will be a daunting task to figure out what exactly went wrong. But what about the issue at hand, the problem that your app is supposed to solve. Because the operating system failed to abstract its implementation details, you must investigate the issue which is not your problem. Abstractions are amazing, they are here for hiding the irrelevant to focus on relevant. while building complex systems, developers heavily rely on abstraction. Each level of abstraction tries to hide the underlying level of complexity of the implementation, Letting the developers focus on the actual problem at hand. Memory management in the managed programming environment is a great example of properly implemented abstraction. Developer...
