The Internet Is Built On Abstraction The open web has come a long way. It's done so specifically through the power of abstraction, an engineer's best friend. The Internet itself, platform, protocol and methodologies, hasn't drastically changed in 10+ years. We're sill using HTML 4 with CSS 1, 2 and an unholy amount of CSS-P. JavaScript is slowly evolving, but not usefully: nothing in a modern browser looks like the insanely quick, high level language JScript.NET was in 2001, or the similarly powerful ActionScript variants found in modern Flash virtual machines.
