Abstraction is for lame programmers ? [closed]
- by Zaban Khuli
Hi, there's this senior developer in my company who's (in his own opinion) a pretty good C programmer. I happen to be from functional background (ML, to be specific) and so for me composition and abstraction are the two basic elements of programming. But this MrSmartyPants has got some kind of superiority complex and he'd always argue with me that abstraction is for lame programmers and _real_ programmers do not need it.
Is it a problem with this guy or all C programmers have this opinion that abstraction is for lame programmers?
