Abstraction considered harmful

From SICP:

We control complexity by building abstractions that hide details when appropriate

Which means that with abstraction the whole system will grow and bloat without the programmer noticing it.

Why the fuck are all you kiddie shits so afraid of complexity?  Caches are complex, but add a hell of a lot of speed.  So do JIT compilers, load balancers, prefetchers, threading on multicore, and all the other shit you're so fucking afraid of because of OMG CoMpexity.

Get the fuck off my /prog/.
