 		 #117302 - if you do not care about cost/performanc
Responding to: ???'s previous message
if you do not care about cost/performance then absolutley abstraction is the ideal

We can all dream of the day that abstract code will be as efficient as realistic code.

In the PC world where multiGiga is the norm today that ideal has been achieved by circumventing the requirement for efficiency by raw power.

$100 on a PC has much less significance that $10 on a microwave and thus while the PC "allow" abstraction, the '51 in a microwave does not.

There will, of course, be the projects employing a '51 where the NRE is much more significant than the parts cost and, in those cases, some abstraction can be applied. However, I am of the opinion that, generally speaking, if abstraction is desired, the '51 is not the right choice.

I see abstraction (at its current state) much more relevant in computing than in control and with the '51 being a microcontroller my point is made.
