This is a good thread.
Where did this meme of 'abstraction' become a good idea in programming? Here is where the word 'abstraction' derives: noun of action from past participle stem of Latin abstrahere "to drag away, detach, pull away, divert;". This whole time these huge companies and their shills are pushing these meme languages to remove the users - programmers are the original users, modern users are consumers - and hardware from each other so that there is no interaction between them.
These meme languages and their supporters are stripping the rights of consumers from their property. They are instead shilling this idea that you are renting hardware and are licensed to use it instead of owning the physical device for you to break, smash, repair, and improve.
How are these languages of any benefit to anyone except the companies that are forcing consumers into a corner to rob them of their hard earned Dollars?
