An abstract program consists of conceptual constructs: operations, data types, sequences, and communication.

To the extent that the high-level language embodies the constructs one wants in the abstract program and avoids all lower ones, it eliminates a whole level of complexity that was never inherent in the program at all." - Frederick Brooks, //No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of | ||
